 Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 4:09 am Post subject: ide0 ? cant see/use 2 new HD's [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I am totally lost with this issue.
I cant even say what is this about; other than what the hell is IDE0 ?
In the bios :
| Code: |
Primary IDE master 'shows me my dvdrom'
Primary IDE salve 'shows me my cdrom'
third IDE master 'shows nothing'
third IDE slave 'shows nothing'
fourth IDE master 'shows nothing'
fourth IDE slave 'shows nothing' |
( note there is no secondary channel there. never was)
I have my sata setup as sata in the bios . however they can be set as IDE with some extra options.
My sata is a real sata. by this i mean that is not an ide setup has sata.
The board has 3 IDE bus channels. One is a regular IDE channel and the 2 in red are ITE IDE RAID ( this is how they are identified - in red )
I have pluged the 2 new IDE's into the 'red' ide channel and the cdroms are pluged in the 1st IDE channel ( blue ide - regular ide channel )
when booting the bios detects my 2 new Hard drives .
And during the detection it scans 4 channels.
These 4 channels are the ones in 'RED' . ITE IDE RAID
It detects the 2 new HD's in third and fourth place.
after that dmesg sees only ide0 for those 2 new IDE's
| Code: | # cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
8 0 390711384 sda
8 1 32098 sda1
8 2 1951897 sda2
8 3 388724805 sda3
8 16 250880 sdb |
SDA --> sata HD
SDB --> usb card reader
| Code: | CdRoms :
/dev/hda
/dev/hdb |
added 2 new HD's IDE to the secondary IDE channel 1 as master another as slave
| Code: | # ls /proc/ide
drivers hda hdb ide0 |
They are seen as ide0
wft is ide0 ?
| Code: | # ls /proc/ide/ide0
channel hda hdb mate model |
| Code: | # file -s /dev/hd{a,b,c,d}
/dev/hda: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'DVD__43 '
/dev/hdb: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'SOFTWARE '
/dev/hdc: cannot open `/dev/hdc' (No such file or directory)
/dev/hdd: cannot open `/dev/hdd' (No such file or directory) |
this is the board :

and here is a close picture :
http://www.hothardware.com/articleimages/item633/big_p5ad2.jpg
NOTE: the frist HD to be added to the system was the sata (SDA)
The IDE's were added now. and the problem showed up
How can i solve this ?
how can i list and use the 2 new IDE HD's

Is the IDE raid enabled in the bios? If it is, that may be part of the problem.
I believe ide0 means primary master, so it is one of your CDROMs. |

after reading the board manual.. i found out a couple things
By default these 2 'red' ide channels ( ITE controlers) work as normal IDE.
I also checked the bios to see if i had those IDE set as raid. and there were as normal IDE.
Finally i think i have found the fix for this.
IT821X IDE support in the kernel.
This driver adds support for the ITE 8211 IDE controller and the
IT 8212 IDE RAID controller in both RAID and pass-through mode.
after recompiling the kernel with that :
# ls /proc/ide/
drivers hda hdb hde hdf ide0 ide2
and my HD's were found.
