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
