 Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 12:37 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] 2nd Hard Drive not detected |
 |
|
I recently upgraded my kernel (2.6.30), to find that my second harddrive (home directory) is not detected. This harddrive is attached to a controller card listed below:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124008
So my guess is, I forgot to compile the kernel compatible with this card. What are the "make menuconfig" options that I have to enable to get this working?
Incidentally, I can't connect to the internet either. Probably forgot to compile the motherboard's ethernet card....

how did you upgrade your kernel?
when updating a kernel from a newer version sometimes you can just copy the .config file from /usr/src/linux-<old-kernel-version> to your new /usr/src/linux-<new-kernel-version>
then instead of make menuconfig
you can do
make oldconfig
and make sure you update symlink (if that don't have that use flag set)
This saves time recompiling the entire kernel for minor updates like -r1 to -r2 or I even use it from .29 to .30 though that it technically a no no if you are a purist/perfectionist |

I upgraded from scratch.
Yeah, I know that's a lengthy process, with a lot of hits and misses, but there was a reason.
I copied the old configuration files while trying to update from .28 to .29, with disastrous results. To avoid that same results again, I decided to start from scratch.
I'm pretty sure I can easily figure out my networking issue, but the hard drive seemed hardware-specific, which was why I asked. Otherwise, Gnome works, except I can only log in as root (bad idea, I know). |

Without the internet connection on Gentoo, that'll be hard.
But I'll try.  |

just the dope on drive controllers will do such as:
| Quote: | 00:04.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 IDE (rev a1)
00:05.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a2)
00:05.1 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a2)
00:05.2 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP55 SATA Controller (rev a2)
06:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technology Corp. 20360/20363 Serial ATA Controller (rev 02) |
info similar to that in red that identifies chipsets is what is needed, specifically for syba.
Sorry did not notice you had no connection. |

If the newegg specs are correct this should do the job for the disk on the syba controller. For the disk currently seen you should have driver(s) selected in the blue section. Best advice is to keep < > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ---> set to no and make all disk controller choices under <*> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers --->

When upgrading kernel, I suggest you keep the old kernel present in /boot and in your grub.conf so you can more easily cope with mishaps. Just add a new kernel and a new grub.conf entry for it.
There have been big changes in network drivers in the 28,29, and 30 kernels.

Actually, I do have some old kernels. Problem is, I have to update fstab all the time because /dev/sda and /dev/sdb swaps between each other on different kernels, likely due to the newer kernel's inability to detect the the 2nd hard drive.
Anyway, here's the lspci output on the new kernel:

I've edited my previous post's menuconfig section to what I think you need.
As far as NIC:
| Quote: | Device Drivers --->
[*] Network device support --->
[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --->
<M> VIA Rhine support |
