This problem has been fixed: The Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro motherboard has four points you can plug a SATA drive cable. They are SATA0_SB and SATA1_SB, both controlled by the onboard nVIDIA nForce3 250 chipset. I tried one of these and had no luck with 2.6 kernel, sarge i386 or sid-amd64. Could not detect my Seagate ST380013AS SATA drive. Then there are SATA0_SII and SATA1_SII, both controlled by the built-in Silicon Image Sil3512 chipset. I swapped the cable into SATA0_SII socket and rebooted. Straight away the drive was detected: scsi3 : sata_sil Vendor: ATA Model: ST380013AS Rev: 3.18 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 SCSI device sda: 156299375 512-byte hdwr sectors (80025 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 < p5 p6 p7 p8 p9 > Attached scsi disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
I am able to mount the drive. The network, sound, video and USB drivers are all working and the Firewire controller is recognised. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
