On my F12 system the "ahci" SATA driver is not loaded as a module, therefore it is probably built into the kernel. Indeed, the following seems to confirms that: $ cat /boot/config* |grep AHCI CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y If your machine is new, them most likely it will use the AHCI driver, however check that the controller is set to AHCI mode in the BIOS. Anyway, Don is correct - for all intents and purposes, eSATA is just the same as a drive plugged directly onto the main board. It's not like USB at all, where you need SCSI storage emulation. If your CentOS box can detect and mount the drive as whilst booted to the USB system, then check lsmod for a driver, run dmesg to see what it detected (if you hot plug it - which may not work on an old kernel), etc. -c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
