Hi Lima |

Thanks for the info! I boot from the SMP kernel, 'cause I need it for my CPU |
4 |
(it has Hyper-Threading...). But, you said the 2.6 series can't find any |
5 |
SATA disks? Probably, that's the reason, since the SMP kernel is a 2.6.1 |
6 |
kernel... |
7 |
|
8 |
Anyway, I am going to try the standard 2.4 Gentoo kernel. |

I have several servers with a Intel 875PBZ motherboard, one SATA disk of |
19 |
160GB, and a CD-ROM. In the bios there is a 'Drive Configuration' |
20 |
section where you can choose your 'ATA/IDE Configuration' as 'Enhanced' |
21 |
or 'Legacy'. The first one gives you the 2 PATA channels plus the 2 SATA |
22 |
channel for a total of 6 devices (2 SATA and 4 PATA). Booting from |
23 |
Gentoo-2004.0-universal CD with this configuration + RAID disabled, the |
24 |
SATA disk is shown as /dev/hde (or /dev/hdf). If you want (for any |
25 |
reason) to have your SATA disk as /dev/hda you should change to the |
26 |
Legacy option selecting the configuration whith the 2 SATA channels + |
27 |
the secondary PATA (where you put your CD). Booting in this |
28 |
configuration (RAID disabled) shows the SATA disk as /dev/hda and the CD |
29 |
Rom as /dev/hdc. |
30 |
This is a copy&paste of the section in dmesg where the IDE drives are |
31 |
detected whith a 2.4.24 kernel: |

When I tried to boot from a 2.6 kernel, the SATA disk is not detected at |
60 |
all in any BIOS configuration. |
61 |
|
62 |
Hope this can help and not confuse... |
