Posted: Mon Oct 18, 2004 4:33 am Post subject: Yet another SATA issue [SOLVED] |
|
|
Installing Gentoo on an HP Proliant DL360
~650MB IDE
Intel SATA Controller
As the title says, when installed Gentoo, the Live CD found /dev/sda with out a problem. However, after the install, the only thing remotely resembling a
harddrive I find is /dev/hda (which is a 643 IDE HD in my machine).
Grub runs, and tries to do as it's told (tries to boot from /dev/sda3) but as stated before, it does not exist.
I read around a bit here. I tried "modprobe libata sd_mod". Running "lsmod" shows that libata is there, however, when my machine is booting, it doesn't look like it's loading this module. Wouldn't necessarily make it work, but it is definitely worth a shot.
EDIT:
I've looked around and found this thread, in which the problem was the filesystem was compiled in the kernel as a module. My filesystem for all parts of /dev/sda are ext2... doesn't genkernel compile this into the kernel?

No love.
Recompiled my kernel, and it still can't detect my ATA controller.
For shits and giggles, I looked at some files after grub failed to find my boot partition. My fstab is set properly (/dev/sta1 is the boot). However, when I boot, and cat /etc/fstab, I only see:

/dev/ram0 / etc2 defaults
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

Doesn't even have my other drives in there.

Not the solution I was looking for, but...

emerge gentoo-dev-sources

Then compile it w/ the necessary SCSI support. 2.4.2-6 kernel was giving me all kinds of errors when trying to compile w/ SCSI.
Now I've got a host of other crap to fix though. |

If I'm not mistaken, your 643 MB /dev/hda is probably the CDROM |
