Use the command; lsmod | less and see if you have the sd_mod module loaded. This is needed for access to SATA drives. If the module is not loaded then load it with the command modprobe sd_mod as the root user. This should help you gain access to the SATA drive[s]. Once you have built LFS you will need to put the following line in the file /etc/sysconfig/modules sd_mod When you re-boot LFS after this it should see the SATA drive[s]. You could also compile the module directly into your kernel. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
