Asus P5B (P965 chipset) SATA problem

[Shake]

Hi,

I have bought the Asus P5B some days ago and now try to get the sata running. But unfortunatly I am not very successfull...
I have created a kernel using genkernal and everything works great (based on 2.6.16-r13).
Then I manually compiled the same kernel (with the .config created from genkernel) but this kernel does not boot (at least it does not find the root device).

What does genkernel do what the manually compiled kernel does not do?



Thanks,

Johannes Schneider

Thanks for the link. But the JMicron controller is not the problem (I simply don't care about it). I just want the SATA (ICH8) controller work as expected...

If you are using lilo, make sure that you add an append line to the image. The append line should point to the root

Code: Select all

append="root=/dev/sda3"

That is just an example, make sure that you change the root device according to your own setup.
