 |
|
Nothing I do in the kernel config seems to make my IDE hard drive, and CDrom work. SATA hard drive works fine.
This is as of any kernel >=2.6.18; versions prior work fine.
Thanks,
~Cow

How do you know the drives are not working? If you are using the new SATA/PATA drivers they may just have been renamed.

I checked dmesg, looked around for a /dev/cdrom /dev/hdx, and I checked /dev/disk/; in all places, there were only signs of my SATA drive. I tried the old, and the new drivers, neither seem to show anything in dmesg (definitely not the standard messages I get if I boot my 2.6.17 kernel).

How many SATA drives are in /dev? This is what shows on my system with 2 ide hard drives, 2 dvd drives, and 4 sata drives.

$ ls /dev/s*

You'll note all drives become s* with the new drivers. Sorry if you've already done this but just want to check the obvious.

Just sda;  as I said, I also checked in /dev/disk/ to make sure I wasn't missing something...

show us your 'lspci' output, then someone can help suggest some kernel options. also did you enabled SCSI-CDROM? |

Well, lspci does show the controllers detected. Are both the ide hard drive and ide cdrom drive on the same cable?

did you enable CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC and or CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG a.k.a SCSI generic support? I don't see why you would need SCSI generic support for an IDE controller but just a wild guess. I'm leaning more towards CONFIG_ATA_GENERIC, can you also post the output of.

Oops... Ever have one of those days where you're so shocked at your own ineptitude that fixing your problem is barely consolation?
Yeah, so I mistyped my grub.conf line... Which means I was booting the wrong kernel image the entire time...
Thanks guys, sorry to waste your time.
