I've managed to get Debian 2.6 installed on my system using a Pioneer DVD/CD-ROM Drive. After the install I wanted to use the DVD/CD as a source and found that the system does not recognize the drive. I also have a SATA drive 200GB installed. Seems that the 2.6 kernel treats the SATA as a sda1-4 but does ot see the IDE DVD/CD Rom. Can someone point me in the right direction to getting this fixed. dmesg: SCSI subsystem initialized libata version 1.02 loaded. ata_piix version 1.02 ata_piix: combined mode detected PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.2 to 64 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1F0 ctl 0x3F6 bmdma 0xF000 irq 14 ata1: dev 0 cfg 49:2f00 82:746b 83:7f01 84:4023 85:7469 86:3e01 87:4023 88:207f ata1: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 390721968 sectors: lba48 ata1: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133 scsi0 : ata_piix Using anticipatory io scheduler Vendor: ATA Model: WDC WD2000JS-19M Rev: 02.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 ata2: PATA max UDMA/33 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xF008 irq 15 ata2: dev 0 cfg 49:0f00 82:0218 83:4000 84:4000 85:0218 86:0000 87:4000 88:0407 ata2: dev 0 ATAPI, max UDMA/33 ata2: dev 0 configured for UDMA/33 scsi1 : ata_piix Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 System Stats: Intel P4 HyperThreading CPU 3.0 BioStar M/B P4ST4 1.2GB DDR memory WD200 SATA2 HDD Intel Pro/1000 NIC
The SATA drive is set combined (giving access to both SATA and PATA drives). Thanks
