Hi Davin and all others, |
2 |
|
3 |
Thanks. I booted into the gentoo livecd using the 2.4 kernel and I could |
4 |
find the harddisks immediatly. The server is for production use, so I'm |
5 |
going to use a 2.4 kernel combined with grsec. Anyway, I'm going to try the |
6 |
2.6 series of the Linux kernel as well later on. Thanks everyone for all |
7 |
information regarding SATA and RAID! |

Nick, |

You should be able to use SATA perfectly well, I am with a 2.6.4 kernel and |
20 |
I've gotta say it ROCKS! Which SATA Chipset is it? If it's the Silicon Image |
21 |
like my Shuttle here then you need to allow experimental drivers for doing |
22 |
the build. But so far its sweet! Wouldn't give it up! |

Hi Lima |
33 |
|
34 |
Thanks for the info! I boot from the SMP kernel, 'cause I need it for my CPU |
35 |
(it has Hyper-Threading...). But, you said the 2.6 series can't find any |
36 |
SATA disks? Probably, that's the reason, since the SMP kernel is a 2.6.1 |
37 |
kernel... |
38 |
|
39 |
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 |
50 |
160GB, and a CD-ROM. In the bios there is a 'Drive Configuration' |
51 |
section where you can choose your 'ATA/IDE Configuration' as 'Enhanced' |
52 |
or 'Legacy'. The first one gives you the 2 PATA channels plus the 2 SATA |
53 |
channel for a total of 6 devices (2 SATA and 4 PATA). Booting from |
54 |
Gentoo-2004.0-universal CD with this configuration + RAID disabled, the |
55 |
SATA disk is shown as /dev/hde (or /dev/hdf). If you want (for any |
56 |
reason) to have your SATA disk as /dev/hda you should change to the |
57 |
Legacy option selecting the configuration whith the 2 SATA channels + |
58 |
the secondary PATA (where you put your CD). Booting in this |
59 |
configuration (RAID disabled) shows the SATA disk as /dev/hda and the CD |
60 |
Rom as /dev/hdc. |
61 |
This is a copy&paste of the section in dmesg where the IDE drives are |
62 |
detected whith a 2.4.24 kernel: |

When I tried to boot from a 2.6 kernel, the SATA disk is not detected at |
91 |
all in any BIOS configuration. |
92 |
|
93 |
Hope this can help and not confuse... |
