 Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 5:49 pm Post subject: I want to mount an IDE hard disk but can't find /dev/hda |
 |
|
I need to get some files from an old hard drive. My motherboard has an IDE connector, so I connected the disk and my BIOS recognizes the disk during boot up. When I booted up gentoo and listed the disks using "fdisk -l" only my SATA disks shows up. I have followed the guide at http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/HDD and recompiled my kernel. My kernel configuration menu looks a little different but I am pretty sure that I have included what is needed.
I recompiled my kernel and booted up again. Still no IDE disk or /dev/hda.
I know that the hard drive is working and contains partitions (ext2 and maybe ext3 partitions) since I used it in another machine fairly recently.
Thanks in advance  |

Everything shows up as /dev/sd* these days. Did you have an extra one of those?

| OK. I looked at "fdisk -l" again. I can only see my two SATA hard disks and an external USB drive. The IDE hard disk is not listed. |

pvh1987,
Turn off IDE support in the kernel ... all of it | Code: | | < > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED) |
and enable your PATA driver on the | Code: | | <*> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers ---> |
menu.
On the SATA menu you will need at least
| Code: | [*] ATA SFF support (for legacy IDE and PATA)
[*] ATA BMDMA support |
or your driver will be hidden.
When your IDE drive appears, it will get a /dev/sd* name.
Depending on both your luck and boot setup, you box may no longer boot as the extra device may cause the SATA drives to be renumbered.

| Thanks in advance. I will not try that today, as it is too risky. I will look for an external USB enclosure instead. Hopefully that will do what I want without messing with the drive numbering... |

pvh1987,
| Code: | | 03:00.0 IDE interface: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE6101/6102 single-port PATA133 interface (rev b2) |
| Code: | | <M> Marvell PATA support via legacy mode |
is the option you need.
Built in will work too.
Its not risky. You just shut down and unplug the drive to revert the SATA numbering.
As an aside | Code: | | 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801IB (ICH9) 2 port SATA Controller [IDE mode] (rev 02) |
using IDE mode is generally a bad thing.
Its intended to allow Win XP users to install the AHCI driver before they switch to AHCI mode forever.
Switching to AHCI mode in you BIOS is harmless. If you don't have AHCI support in your kernel, you will be forced to switch back.
