Hi, I've just got the second HDD for a server, nearly identical to the first, but the problem is that the ide driver isn't loaded at boot time. i.e. what happens during boot is:
...
hda: ST340824A, ATA DISK drive
hdb: CREATIVECD-RW RW8432E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM
hdc: ST340810A, ATA DISK drive
hdd: HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7500, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
...
as you see, the drive is detected. But when I try reading the drives...
# hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multicount = 16 (on)
....... [works]
# hdparm /dev/hdc
hdc: driver not present
/dev/hdc: No such device or address
The first [oldest] drive works fine, but the second [new] drive doesn't!
# cat /proc/ide/hda/driver
ide-disk version 1.10
# cat /proc/ide/hdc/driver
(none)
A bodge fix is to...
# cat /proc/ide/hda/driver > /proc/ide/hdc/driver
hdc: 78165360 sectors (40021 MB) w/2048KiB Cache,CHS=77545/16/63
# hdparm /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
multicount = 16 (on)
...... [works!]
So, does anyone know why it doesn't load the driver at boot time, and
how to get it to do so?
