 Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 8:48 pm Post subject: SATA HD drives not detected [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi,
I recently installed gentoo and everything (finally) seems to be working OK. I use an old non-sata drive for boot. I also have 2 seagate 320GB Sata drives, which are not detected by gentoo. They are detected in the BIOS and they worked when running under WinXP.
When I try fdisk /dev/sda, sdb,... it says 'unable to open sda' and when I look in /dev, there is no sda, sda,... I've tried booting with ACPI on and off and with APIC on and off, didn't work. My motherboard has an nForce 4 chipset.
Here's my lspci:

I have been looking for this for a while now and can't seem to solve it. Any help is appreciated...
Thanks

| This may sound stupid, but did you include scsi disk support in your kernel? |

What is your kernel-config?
| Code: | | grep "^CONFIG.*\(sata\|scsi\)" -i /usr/src/linux/.config |
I have (for sata-hdd, usb-hdd, usb-card-reader... so less options may work for you):
| Code: | CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=y |
*so slow...*

I'm checking the scsi disk support now, but I think I did include it. |

do a | Code: | | dmesg | grep "ata\|scsi" |
and show us whats in "/dev/sd*"
Your disks are detected as ata3 and ata4... both 320GB...

Try "noapic" kernel option.
Enable the pci-dma -> nvidia/amd
(Disable sata_sil, if possible)
Perhaps one is working... just few ideas 
As you can see in my sig, i also have a nforce4 board with sata-hdd... though its the boot-hdd... but its working fine

the noapic option was already in there and the pci-dma was enabled. I disabled the sil sata support, rebooting now... |

Well, I just added the 'irqpoll' option in the bootloader and I'm now able to see the SATA drives. Don't have a clue what this irqpoll thing does and what the consequences on the rest of the system are...
