 |
|
Hi,
I have a rather "old" computer in which I just put an extra sata drive.
So far I only had PATA drives in the box. I use gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r9
and I have the proper SATA driver (via sata) compiled in for my mother board.
Yet neither the drive or the sata capabilities appears. | Code: | lspci

Do I have to remove support for the old IDE driver and convert my set up to libATA only
for it to work or should I look for a problem elsewhere (loose connections etc...)
Thanks. |

Which of those devices is your SATA controller? As far as I know, the via82xxx driver is for IDE only.
Here is my output: | Code: | 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8377 [KT400/KT600 AGP] Host Bridge

I use the via82xxx for the devices connected to the IDE interface but, in my case, sata_promise for my SATA controller. I don't see a SATA controller listed in your output. Which one is it? |

I have gone through my BIOS more carefully this morning and found that
SATA was disabled there now that I have enabled it I have this: | Code: | /usr/sbin/lspci

I think I can see the drive now. I'll post again if I have more trouble. |
