 |
|
Hello,
I'm trying to install on an NVIDIA A8N-SLI Premium mobo. I just got a new hdd; the Seagate 7200.10 320 gb Sata II (3.0gbps)
I get the kernel installed and have the nv_sata driver compiled in. The kernel boots fine but when it gets to this line: "nv_sata: applying bridge limits" it stalls for about 30 seconds, and then starts spitting out Primary Device added, Primary Device Removed, Secondary Device Added, Secondary Device Removed. In rapid, unending succession.
I'm currently posting from links inside of the livecd.  Any help would be most welcomed! |

Also,
I have a SATA DVDR drive attached to the NVIDIA Sata controller as well.
I went through and enabled every SCSI option and the same issue persisted. |

Have a workaround... It's not the most convenient of things but it works...
I had to disable the unused SATA channels in my bios... For me that was Sata 3/4, as Sata 1/2 was used by the actual linux drive...
Don't like that much at all. |
