Hi there, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have a weird harddisk detection problem which rises the questio: what does |
4 |
the gentoo-kernel make differently than the ubuntu kernel? |
5 |
|
6 |
The system in question has 2 identical SSDs (Kingston SV300S3 60GB) and two |
7 |
identical HDDs (older Maxtor7V300F0 300GB) , all connected to SATA/AHCI ports; |
8 |
the HDDs are combined to a LVM-raid1 volume. SATA controller is a onboard SB7x |
9 |
on an Asus M3A78 mainboard in AHCI mode. |
10 |
|
11 |
Only one of the two SSDs is attached at the same time to the system, the other |
12 |
one is disconnected. One contains a gentoo installation (just updated |
13 |
yesterday), the other one an Ubuntu LTS 20.04. This allows dual-.boot by |
14 |
switching connection cables. |
15 |
|
16 |
When I connect the gentoo-SSD and boot it, BIOS finds all HDDs and the SSD, and |
17 |
starts booting; but gentoo does not recognize at least one of the HDDs (/dev/ |
18 |
sdc missing, dmesg shows link down on Sata-Interface |
19 |
. Going back to the bios shows that even BIOS does not recognize the disk |
20 |
anymore. A full powercycle (pressing reset button is not sufficent) to make BIOS |
21 |
to recognize the disks again. |
22 |
|
23 |
Doing the same with the Ubuntu-Disk works absolutely fine, all HDDs are |
24 |
recognized and the raid is working fine, not a single time that one of the |
25 |
disks was not recognized. |
26 |
|
27 |
Without the Ubuntu observation I'd say its a hardware problem and the old HDDs |
28 |
are simply beyond their age, but why are they working in ubuntu and not in |
29 |
gentoo? And what is it doing with BIOS/Harddisk that even Bios does not find it |
30 |
anymore? I need a full powercycle to make bios find it again. This indicates a |
31 |
gentoo kernel problem, and I have no idea where to start looking, and AFAIK |
32 |
there's nothing much to configure a SATA/AHCI drive. |
33 |
|
34 |
Any ideas? |
35 |
|
36 |
Thanks |
