Re: FC9 installation sees SATA drives but not PATA

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I would have expected the IDE to show up as /dev/sda
the RAID to be /dev/sdb & /dev/sdc and the data drive to be /dev/sdd.
or the IDE to show up as /dev/sdd.

The three SATA drives show up in the same order as listed below, but the IDE drive does not show up at all (/dev/sda or /dev/sdd)

I want to install FC9 in place of my old Debian 4

I have one PATA three SATA hard drives and a SATA DVD-RW on a
ASUS N1L64-SLI WS motherboard   with the 0505 bios release

IDE:
/dev/hda1    ntfs      Windows vista boot
/dev/hda2    linux-swap
/dev/hda3    reiserfs    debian /

SATA:
/dev/sda1  &
/dev/sda2   configured with LVM as RAID 1 mounted as /home
/dev/sdc1  ntfs   windows data drive

The problem is that FC9 will not see the ide drive (/dev/hda) it does not show up in /proc/partitions
I tried Fedora Live 8 with the same result, the kernel sees the SATA drives but not the IDE

I have tried various boot parameters such as     libata.dma=0  or ide=nodma

I do not think it is a BIOS problem because I am running the older Linux just fine. Also, various live CD's such as
Knopix and SLAX see all four drives.

I can always add another SATA drive just for the Linux OS, but I would rather see this problem solved first.





Fedora changed how it see's hard drives in Fedora 8, all IDE and SATA drives are listed as /dev/sd*
