Pat and others Thanks as usual for the feedback....I haven't had the chance to look at this until now when as usual it is needed.
I tried the latest linux boot cd but alas it didn't work. The contents of lspci -n produced the following: 00:1f.2 IDE Interface Intel 82801EB /ER (ICH5/ICH5R) ultra ATA 150 Storage Controller (rev 02) The contents of lspci produced the following: (which corresponded to the above) 00:1f.2 Class 0101: 8086: 24d1 (rev 02) Now, when the CD fails I notice it says it cannot locate /lib/modules/2.6.7/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.ko then piix.ko and ide-generic.ko etc etc The message then says hmmm found no harddrives (amiraid/aro) ataraid/d0 cciss/i0d0 i20/had ida/c0d0 rd/c0d0 had sda hdc Under sys/block I get: Ram0 ram10 ram12 ram14 ram2 ram4 ram6 ram8 Ram1 ram11 ram13 ram15 ram3 ram5 ram7 ram9 Is this enough information, kind Regards Aron. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Patrick J.

You can use Shift-PageUp to scroll backwards and read the messages. I am going to need more information to debug this. The output of "lspci" and especially "lspci -n" would be useful; in particular, the lines corresponding to the S-ATA controller device(s). > I am sure your disk should be able to identify the SATA drive, Maybe, but it may take some tweaking to make it happen. I really need the "lspci -n" values. Oh, and the contents of /sys/block at the time of failure. (Or you can try the next release of Unattended, which will have the 2.6.7 kernel and might "just work".) - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
