I bought myself a GA-965G-DS3 motherboard --965G northbridge --ICH9 southbridge --unknown addon controller for IDE & SATA Ports
Harddrive is plugged into the IDE Channel (Only 1 avaliable). there are 6 sata slots. I compiled in a few ide/sata modules that appeared to fit, but I cannot get it to find my partition. (I believe I just dont know where it is mapped to in the /dev directory. It isn't hda1, or sda1. I coulnd't see what the kernel identifies as drives as it scrolls by too fast). Grub has no problems accessing the filestructure. I guess I am looking for a few posibilities -Recent bootable cd that supports the above chipset, so I can scope out how it lays out the harddrives (LFS liveCD does not find the cd after the kernel is loaded). -way to slow down or cache the information supplied by the kernel as it boots. This way I can see what partitions It see's, or if I even got the correct drivers. If nothing is out there, I'll probably attempt to build a initrd, with a bash shell and a minimal environment. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ nathan at linuxfromscratch org conathan at gmail com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
