Strange behaviour with SATA disks. Light always ON

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

 



Hi!
I don't know if this is the right place to ask
about this, or even if this is a problem at all.

Anyway I didn't find relevant information on
this ...

I have just bought a new PC with two SATA drives.
I had no problems to have them working,
apparently fine except for one thing:
After reading the kernel, the driver access light (led?)
is always on!
Is this normal? Why?

BTW, is there any documentation/utilities similar
to hdparm for SATA?

Thanks a lot for any answer/comment.

I'm sending the 1st lines of dmesg just in case ...
If more information is needed, please let me know.

PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing
** PCI interrupts are no longer routed automatically.  If this
** causes a device to stop working, it is probably because the
** driver failed to call pci_enable_device().  As a temporary
** workaround, the "pci=routeirq" argument restores the old
** behavior.  If this argument makes the device work again,
** please email the output of "lspci" to [email protected]
** so I can fix the driver.
