 Posted: Thu May 10, 2018 9:01 am Post subject: Kernel not finding new drive [Solved] |
 |
|
Just installed a new disk drive and the kernel doesn't recognise it.
This is an internal SATA drive. I booted an Ubuntu USB stick (16.04.3) and it finds the drive as sdb, and I managed to format it in there fine.
The bios reports the drive as an ST2000DM006-2D on SATA port 6, and running 'dmesg | grep ST2' shows no results.
Running gentoo-sources-4.14.13
This PC has one other internal SATA drive and a DVD writer, both working fine.
Guessing this is a kernel config issue, I've uploaded my kernel config to: https://pastebin.com/2ek7bsNf

Posting your dmesg while in Ubuntu might be helpful, or perhaps your motherboard manufacturer or /usr/sbin/lspci information.
Likely that SATA port is connected to a different SATA host than your other drives, and you just need a driver for that.

I've posted the dmesg from Ubuntu here: https://pastebin.com/Fz88bnkQ
New drive that's not recognised:

Old drive that's working correctly:

However your board was designed, it seems like CONFIG_PATA_ATIIXP is needed for that sata drive.
You should try another SATA port if you can, you may be bottlenecked there if you didn't intend it to be.

I was thinking for some reason the board has an IDE to SATA bridge built on the board, converting an unused IDE port to a SATA port which is now connected to that sata3 drive... not optimal at all, but it should work. Or perhaps OP is using a bridge card.
Choosing another port on the main SATA host probably will allow it to work faster and not need this slow port/driver - if there is another free port.

That's sorted it.
This is quite an old PC, with this motherboard https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/A75MAG55.html
It has 2 SATA ports flat to the motherboard, but the other 4 are off to the side, facing a different way, so I guess they must connect to the system differently.
Anyway, thanks for your help everyone.

Thank you!
I was experiencing a similar issue, where my main drive was not getting recognized at all, and at busybox I could only see ata3 and ata4, but the main ata1 was not there. It was really strange for me, because I had the same 850 EVO SSDs on ata1 and ata4, but only the ata4 SSD was being recognized. I knew it was a kernel issue, because with "genkernel all" it booted fine, so I was looking for that one magical config setting, which turned out to be as you suggested, to enable CONFIG_PATA_ATIIXP. |
