I do not have this problem, but perhaps the ff hints can assist.
As a work-around remove corresponding entry from /etc/fstab and insert that mount point in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
Then, have a look at why your SATA modules are not loaded in due time for mount. Maybe it is a timing problem.
Perhaps, your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf are not setup correctly. Manually edit the alias line pertaining to SATA.
Other tools to use:
lsmod modprobe rmmod

Hi all,
I'm having some issues when booting up re. my SATA drive (I also had the same issue running Debian Sid). Ubuntu (/) is installed on an 80GB IDE drive and I've got /home on a 200G SATA drive. However, when booting it seems that it tries to mount the SATA drive (/home) before any SATA modules are loaded and thus gives me an error when trying to mount it...hit CTRL-D to continue etc.
My work around is to just mount the SATA (/home) drive manually after it has booted, however this is annoying. Is there a way I can change the order in which things are done during startup. I want any SATA modules loaded *before* fstab is processed. I figure compiling SATA into the kernel would fix the issue, but I shouldn't have to do this.
Anyone having similar problems or know how I could fix it?
Cheers,
