Can't "find" third IDE master...

**loffen** · 04-04-2005

I unplugged my SATA drive (containing critical backups etc..) before attempting to install Slackware 10.1. Now, i plugged the drive again. It shows up in win, but not in linux. I figured i had to add it in /etc/fstab, but /dev/hde1 did not work (i assumed hde1, because its the third IDE master). Without any luck, i tried to run fdisk on /dev/hdb-g and /dev/scb-g to see if the drive "existed". Again, without any luck. So, i was kind-of-wondering if the SATA drives got their own "name" or what i am doing wrong...

Thanks,

Serial ATA usually show up as scsi devices. If you run

Code:

fdisk -l

you should get a list of the drives on your system.

It didn't work. It only shows hda.

When you installed Slack, did you use the sata kernel? Slack still uses the 2.4.x kernel series, which had very little SATA support.

**sdousley** · 04-04-2005

try:

Code:

dmesg | grep sata

or

Code:

dmesg | grep SATA

(grep is case sensitive so these will return different stuff

if either of them dont show anything just try

Code:

dmesg

and look thru the output for the disk.... or if u cant find it, paste the output in a post and will try and look for you.,

**loffen** · 04-04-2005

Code:

dmesg | grep sata

Code:

dmesg | grep SATA

did not return anything.

dmesg is filled with some stuff about some PCI Controller (change buffer size somehow?)...

Code:

shpchp&#58; shpc_init &#58; shpc_cap_offset == 0
shpchp&#58; shpc_init &#58; shpc_cap_offset == 0
shpchp&#58; Standard Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version&#58; 0.4
pci_hotplug&#58; PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version&#58; 0.5
pciehp&#58; PCI Express Hot Plug Controller Driver version&#58; 0.5

This is repeated 100's of times..

Maybe i should tur off hotplug and reboot?

I repeat, did you select to install the sata kernel during installation? If not, you're going to have all kinds of problems getting SATA to work.

uh... i used the default :P

If i did not use the SATA kernel, what should i do? I still pretty much got a unmodified version of slack installed. Should i just reinstall?

There should be a copy of it on one of your install CDs...do a search.

Or you could install the 2.6 kernel (SATA support, better speed, etc.).
Go to

Code:

/mnt/cdrom/testing/packages/linux-2.6.10

Then

Code:

 installpkg kernel-generic-2.6.10-i486-1.tgz
  installpkg kernel-modules-2.6.10-i486-1.tgz
  installpkg mkinitrd-1.0.1-i486-1.tgz

then

Code:

mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.10 -m <your FS type>

Update /etc/lilo.conf (and run

Code:

lilo

after you update it.

It'll probably look something like this:

Code:

image = /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.10
  initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
  root = /dev/hdb3
  label = Linux2.6.10
  read-only

Don't delete your 2.4.x image...might come in handy
