Public bug reported:
have encountered a problem across the internet that seems to affect many
and is without current resolution. It is a strange error that occurs
with perhaps certain chipsets and hard drives but makes no sense to me.
Also it occurs with many linux distros not just ubuntu so I've seen, so
perhaps the problem may be fixed with the kernel instead of declaring it
some unknown hardware failure.
This is the error: a user cannot see their hard drive in linux. Many
live CD's will not recognize it for the partioning step, ftsab does
nothing, and cfstab spits out a "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open hard disk
error". It is not 'fstab'able, nor do GParted or any other linux
partition editor seem to read the device. But the bios recognizes it!
And windows recognizes it! With windows it is discoverable, able to be
partitioned, edited, formatted, etc,. I have been able to install Linux
with the hard drive through my server, but my new build cannot see it.
I have a NVIDIA 750i SLI motherboard w/ Hitachi 7k1000 1TB HD. Other
devices can be read without problem, excluding other hard drives. My
Hitachi is read by Windows no problem, but Linux just can't open it.
Dmesg after boot says:
[ 3.920023] ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)

Any ideas where to begin? Is it a controller failure or incompatibility?
