Please do one of the followings and report what the kernel says.
1. after boot, do 'rmmod piix; modprobe ata_piix'.
2. if #1 doesn't work. add piix to broken_modules and boot. That should leave your PATA dvdram undetected. After boot, do 'modprobe ata_piix'.
Also, during ahci initialization, your drive times out the first IDENTIFY trial. Does that happen a lot?
Thanks.
#1 rmmod piix doesn't work because the module is busy. #2I have changed the menu.lst file and added brokenmodules=piix. to the kernel line. Just one question. You say broken_modules is that correct? When I use brokenmodules=piix and boot the piix module is still loaded. lsmod |grep -i piix piix 28036 0 [permanent] ide_core 174720 3 ide_cd,piix,ide_disk After modprobe -v ata_piix I got: install /sbin/modprobe ahci 2>&1 |:; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ata_piix insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18.1-7-default/kernel/drivers/ata/ata_piix.ko and lsmod |grep -i piix ata_piix 35080 0 piix 28036 0 [permanent] libata 142624 2 ata_piix,ahci ide_core 174720 3 ide_cd,piix,ide_disk With respect to the IDENTITY message it's strange. The motherboard has several SATA controllers. There are three managed by ICH7 directly, another managed by a JMICRON "chipset" and other two managed by a (I'm not 100% sure) REALTEK "chipset". This last two are really some sort of extension of the fourth SATA port of ICH7 and are intended to build a RAID. If you plug a disk in one of this ports the bios detect it as an external disk. I am puzzled by the message about a sdb disk it seems that the kernel thinks that there is a disk plugged in one of this REALTEK ports. Actually the IDENTITY message appears in ata2 but the only disk in the system is on ata4. cat /proc/scsi/scsi says: Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ATA Model: ST3160023AS Rev: 3.18 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ATA Model: Config Disk Rev: RGL1 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 I hope I am not too confusing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
