Re: [gentoo-user] sata drive on abit fatal1ty an8-sli

[Steven Susbauer]

It loaded sata_nv and I'm pretty sure the drive is probably set up. I'm running headless at the time so I can't confirm. This is a 3gb/sec SATAII drive and controller, so I'm thinking it might be unsupported, at least by the kernel on the live cd (lspci is showing almost everything as "NVIDIA Corporation unknown device")
I'll probably wait and see if drives and everything show up and see if Windows is able to see the drive once I install the nforce drivers for it too, but I can't do that until the 20th when I get a graphics card.

Oops, sorry, I didn't see this part. If the SATA
drivers are loaded when LiveCD boots it should see the
drive. I'm currently having a tussle w/ a SATA drive
myself(mostly resolved)

from dmesg:

Does the drive show up in the POST? If not there I
don't think gentoo will see it either.

If you run lsmod after LiveCD boots you'll see what
drivers it loaded.

Well it looks like either Linux or Gentoo's live cd don't support the 3gb/sec SATA yet. It does load the sata_nv driver, but it doesn't seem to do anything with it since it's an older version. I guess I'll have to wait until I have a monitor and can run Partition Magic or something (though I do plan on totally reformatting once I can actually use the system).

Most likely it's /dev/sda.  Try cfdisk /dev/sda and see if it shows up.  
SATA are treated like SCSI devices, so it should be there.

Livecd found the drive but you have to format/mount
it.

[gentoo-user] sata drive on abit fatal1ty an8-sli

[Steven Susbauer]

Hey, I just got my first amd system in a long time. It has a 250gb sata drive and the Gentoo live cd has some dmesg messages about nvsata or similar, but it doesn't say anything about where it's stuck in the dev tree.
Does the Gentoo live cd support nvidia nforce4 sata interfaces? Do I have to do anything special to add in support at boot and where would I find it in the dev tree? I didn't have anything like /dev/sda.Thanks a bunch.
