[opensuse] SATA ?
Hi. I have an old ASRock motherboard K7VT4A and also a K7VT6. Both motherboards have SATA connectors on them. I use a PATA drive where the opensuse is installed on. I would put a SATA drive on both computers, but the SATA drive is not detected. DMESG tells this: [ 2.878304] sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: version 2.6 [ 2.878342] sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: PCI INT B -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 [ 2.878442] sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: routed to hard irq line 10 [ 2.878624] scsi2 : sata_via [ 2.878730] scsi3 : sata_via [ 2.878783] ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xec00 ctl 0xe800 bmdma 0xdc00 irq 20 [ 2.878787] ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xe400 ctl 0xe000 bmdma 0xdc08 irq 20 [ 3.080015] ata3: SATA link down 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 0 SControl 300) [ 8.188017] ata4: SATA link down 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 1 SControl 300) What can I do to get the drive detected -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You don't mention your OS version, or your controller model, or your disk type!!! And it's holiday season so my crystal ball is on the beach. But basically, you probably need to upgrade the OS and you may need a new controller and/or disk. Some via controllers are buggy hardware and older kernels are buggy with respect to them and some disks don't implement a flavour of SATA that is compatible with the various bugs. Start with the latest kernel. If that doesn' fix it, google for your hard dik and controller model numbers with the keyword linux and see what turns up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There can be settings in the BIOS for how the SATA disk is presented. For example, in our SuperMicro systems, in the BIOS we must enable AHCI for the SATA disks. We also need to disable presenting the SATA disks as RAID. In our case, there are 4 hot-swappable SATA disks.

Most newer controllers have in the BIOS a 'Legacy' setting. Mostly deals with the order in which the drives are presented. It will be something like SATA+PATA, or PATA+SATA. It's been too long since I used a VIA 8237, so I don't remember exactly. If we are talking about SATA-II disks, you may need to use the SATA 150 jumper on the disk as this mobo is SATA 150 only. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
