Did you just add the PCI card?
No, I've been playing with it for a while ... !
Please do the following..... 1. Reboot your system as you have in the past where the drive is not recognized. 2. *BEFORE* you disconnect the power and reconnect get the output of lsmod and see if sata_sil is loaded.
[root@tokyoii ~]# lsmod | grep sata_sil sata_sil 15817 0 libata 104789 1 sata_sil
3. Do you disconnect, reconnect thing and check the output of lsmod again. Is sata_sil now loaded?
lsmod now reads, [root@tokyoii ~]# lsmod | grep sata_sil sata_sil 15817 0 libata 104789 1 sata_sil So, no change there.
If so, then you probably will need to make a new initrd for your kernel and place it in /boot. Check the mkinitrd command for details.
I'll have a look at that as my next step. Many thanks! Ian
