nforce 250 - nvidia's sata controller
I tried to install 9.2 on a Shuttle sn85g4 V3: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=56-101-462&depa=0 which replaced the silicon image sata controller with nvidia's own. Everything is picked up except for the SATA hard drive. Is there even a linux driver for the nvidia sata controller? p.s. I had 9.1 installed on a sn85g4 V1, with an nforce 3 150, and an silicon image sata controller.

nVidia has nForce drivers as well as video drivers at their website, but I didn't need them for my nForce 250 chipset. I did need a bios upgrade and installed with acpi disabled. You might try no acpi first, then bios upgrade, then nVidias drivers if the other options fail. Doug
I tried the acpi off thing, still no SATA HD found. I tried to install suse 9.2 manually, and loaded the sata_nv module. YaST still did not see the SATA HD. Some other info, in case anyone cares... The HD already has win2k pro, and a fully functional suse 9.1amd64 on it, from when it was installed in the original shuttle that had a silicon image sata controller. I can still get grub up, but when I select suse 9.1, I get a /dev/sda not found error. This motherboard/chipset is so new that Shuttle's website doesn't even mention it, and the manuals that came with it are for the old nforce3 150 chipsets.

From the site in the link provided by LeRoy: 1. Switch the motherboard BIOS back to "legacy ATA mode" (parallel ATA = PATA). Is it possible your bios is set in such a way it is looking for a /dev/hdx instead of /dev/sdx ? Doug ). I appears to me that something or some one changed the sent date of my reply after it left my computer. Even if there was a real delay, what happened to the other email with the same message sent on the same day from another email address (gmail)? On Thursday 13 January 2005 10:10 am, you wrote:
