I think this controller is supported by the sata_promise module. Please run "lspci -nn" and verify that the controller has the vendor-ID 0x105a and the device-ID 0x3373. (This should show up as "[105a:3373]"; post the relevant lines here if you are unsure how to interpret them.) The next thing to check is which (s)ata modules are loaded; to do this, run: lsmod | grep ata If you don't see sata_promise listed then you should try this command as root modprobe -v sata_promise and also this one (right after boot) for more diagnostics: dmesg | grep ata Post the output of all these commands and all error messages (if there are any) here. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
