I finally found a keyboard I can use when the boots fails to the initramfs: prompt. ps2 plug on it.
>From the messages it leaves on screen, it is NOT finding the drive plugged into the mobo SATA1 connector when I try to boot to a 3.13.1-2-3 kernel. So just to verify I am looking in the right place in the /sys directory, I believe I was in drivers/pci/sata_nv when I took the pix now up on my web page. This is an ASUS M2N SLI Deluxe mobo, 8 Gigs of ram, phenom 9550 running slow at 2.1 Ghz. This needs the sata_nv module to work with this hardware. There are 4 drives in this box, and they are all working just fine when booted to 3.12.9, but that pix I just posted to my web page in the link below, in the Genes-os9-stf/LCNC link looks like there are only 3, and the first one has been enumerated to pci 5:0. Then 5:1 and 5:2 if I am reading that right. But that same location in the 3.12.9 boot also only shows 3 "devices" so obviously I don't know what I am doing. Again... So, when all I have is the initramfs: prompt, where in the /sys tree can I verify that all 4 drives are present and awake? Thanks.
