| Post subject: | Adding a SATA drive on R4V5 |
OK, maybe I am just braindead today. But I added a brand new SATA drive to my box. It does not appear to be known to linux as a device and I have no idea what I missed or should be looking at. I am not new to linux, but I am to SATA. So far it feels like the early days with UDMA drives and controllers So what am I missing and what do I need to do to make this drive work? Once I can make a filesystem on it I will move stuff around for mythtv but I am not trying to install or boot to the drive. Maybe I am missing something on the harware level? <<snip>> root@mythtv1:~ # grep [hs]d[abcdefgh][:1234567] /var/log/dmesg ide0: BM-DMA at 0xa800-0xa807, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xa808-0xa80f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: WDC WD800JB-00JJA0, ATA DISK drive hda: attached ide-disk driver. hda: host protected area => 1 hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=9729/255/63 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 |

We'll need more hardware details... Does your BIOS recognize the new drive and is it enabled there? Also try: Code: grep -i sata /var/log/dmesg

I just noticed that you're running an older version. Any reason not to upgrade to R5A16? It has a more recent kernel wich may help with the SATA detection. |

I don't even think R4V5 has SATA support in the kernel. From what I recall, getting it to compile was a pain so I never included it... You really should move to R5. |

Well there is definately support for Silicon Image SATA adapters in the 2.4.25-chw kernel included with R4V5. I added a SATA disk temporarily once to my R4V5 system and it was recognised instantly as /dev/sda. I guess you use a different controller. Googling for the controller name should give you a hint of the module name required or do a make oldconfig in the kernel source tree and then a make menuconfig to select new options in the kernel starting with the current options. |
