[gentoo-user] [OT] After power failure, SATA hd not recognized a bunch of times: do I have to worry?
Hi, Today, while I was at work, there had been a power failure. My Gentoo box was on when it happened. I found the box was not off, but it had tried to reboot. But it showed no Linux login prompt; instead, BIOS told me that wanted a floppy disk... I rebooted a bunch of times, and everytime it behaved like there were no more hard disks. It looked for a bootsector in the CD/DVD drives and in the floppy drive, but behaved like the SATA HD did not exist. I tried to boot a Knoppix and its fstab showed no trace of an hard disk. Even more strange, at startup it I was quite terrified, but after a couple more reboots it got the hd again, apparently flawlessly... and now I'm here writing to you from the box. What I want to know is: is it a common glitch in case of power failures or it is the symptom of something that is going very wrong? And how can I know if it's the second? (I have smartctl, but I'm not very smart at using it). Thanks, m. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I've found that my MSI P965 wouldn't recognize my Maxtor 300GB SATAII HD after a power failure. I was quite terrified, but after a couple more reboots it got the hd again, apparently flawlessly... Exactly the same symptoms. Have you power it down completely, switching the PSU off for a few seconds? Regards, Norberto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
