I have a situation where I have a NIC who's driver will only compile under 2.4 kernel, so I install RH9, install the drivers and can't access my SATA HDD. All is well with the world as this is as expected. I then do an upgrade to Fedora Core 2, which with a 2.6 Kernel has SATA support. I can now see my SATA controler my NIC is still working... all is well with the world still.... however the SATA HDD does not show up on the disk mounter tool, but I can see it.. kinda...: SCSI subsystem initialized libata version 1.02 loaded. ata_piix version 1.02 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.2 to 64 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xC000 ctl 0xC402 bmdma 0xD000 irq 11 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xC800 ctl 0xCC02 bmdma 0xD008 irq 11 ata1: dev 0 cfg 49:2f00 82:7c6b 83:7f09 84:4003 85:7c68 86:3e01 87:4003 88:207f ata1: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 398297088 sectors (lba48) ata1: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133 scsi0 : ata_piix ata2: SATA port has no device. ata2: thread exiting scsi1 : ata_piix Vendor: ATA Model: Maxtor 6Y200M0 Rev: 1.02 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 SCSI device sda: 398297088 512-byte hdwr sectors (203928 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write through sda: sda1 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 ata1: thread exiting as you can see the sda is there and it has 1 partition, sda1, however if I try to mount it manualy I get the following: "mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device" Can anyone help me with this? I am going out of my mind! If I install Fedora Core 2 from scratch I can see my HDD but can't install the NIC.....
