Hello everybody, As a followup to my "ghosting" post, the SATA drive is now in place. BIOS detects it as third master. A boot CD finds it and assigns /dev/sda to it.
But gentoo can't find it. from dmesg: [ 33.840486] ata1: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xF8804480 ctl 0xF880448A bmdma 0xF88 04400 irq 9 [ 33.840528] ata2: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xF88044C0 ctl 0xF88044CA bmdma 0xF88 04408 irq 9 [ 33.840572] ata3: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xF8804680 ctl 0xF880468A bmdma 0xF88 04600 irq 9 [ 33.840613] ata4: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xF88046C0 ctl 0xF88046CA bmdma 0xF88 04608 irq 9 [ 34.041330] ata1: no device found (phy stat 00000000) [ 34.041346] scsi0 : sata_sil [ 34.242256] ata2: no device found (phy stat 00000000) [ 34.242272] scsi1 : sata_sil [ 34.443182] ata3: no device found (phy stat 00000000) [ 34.443198] scsi2 : sata_sil [ 34.644108] ata4: no device found (phy stat 00000000) [ 34.644125] scsi3 : sata_sil lspci: 0000:02:0c.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc.

Anybody? -mw __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
