 Posted: Sat Jan 15, 2005 8:17 pm Post subject: SATA and IDE harddrive |
 |
|
Hi!
I have 2 different harddrives in my computer; one is a SATA and is the disk where I've installed Windows XP and Gentoo Linux on different partitions. I dual boot with GRUB and it works perfect. The other disk is an IDE disk where I have all my music stored on.
In Windows I can see the SATA disk as well as the IDE disk, but in Gentoo I can only see my SATA as /dev/sda. When I do fdisk /dev/hda or fdisk /dev/hdb i get: Unable to open /dev/hda
I have no idea how I can get this work, I hope anyone can help me a little further so that I at least can see the drive.

jonakeys,
When you made your linux kernel, did you include the bits and pieces to support your IDE hardware and IDE filesystem ?

I've checked my kernel configuration and as far as i know is everything needed for IDE enabled.

jonakeys,
Is your IDE drive /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd ?
Try thats -l for List, lower case L.
If nothing shows up post the IDE part of your kernel config and a piece of lspci showing your IDE chip set.

When I enter fdisk -l, I get:
| Code: | Disk /dev/sda: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14946 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 7649 61440561 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 7650 7654 40162+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 7655 7717 506047+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda4 7718 14946 58066942+ 83 Linux
|
From lspci I get:
| Code: | 0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) IDE Controller (rev 02)
0000:00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller (rev 02)
|
and from my kernel config:
| Code: | #
# Please see Documentation/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives
#
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI is not set
# CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL is not set
|
I think I see the problem already.... No IDE in the kernel...
