74 |
So, I have removed both my SATA disks and tried to reboot: |
75 |
the system stalled without any error message at all. |
76 |
|
77 |
After that I installed gentookernel and re-created initramfs image |
78 |
(the previous one was created by the gentoo-kernel package before |
79 |
the removal of the SATA disks). |
80 |
|
81 |
After that, my Gentoo system successfully rebooted from the only |
82 |
(ATA) disk that remained. |
83 |
|
84 |
So, the problem is partially solved. |
85 |
|
86 |
However, I still do not understand the exact reason for it to appear. |
87 |
|
88 |
Most probably, both my SATA disks have connection problems as |
89 |
Oli Schmidt suggested from the very beginning, and because they |
90 |
both have it, it points to the motherboard that already had quite |
91 |
a bad track record. |
92 |
|
93 |
Unfortunately, I cannot diagnose it further, but later will try |
94 |
to experiment with attaching my SATA drives again. |
95 |
|
96 |
Also, I am going to test voltage outputs of my Enermax power |
97 |
supply unit when I will have such a possibility. It is quite old but |
98 |
was not used intensively. The other one, Thermaltake, is even older, |
99 |
was intensively used everyday, and still had no problems. (Both |
100 |
were bought with a big margin with respect to my computer's |
101 |
power demand). |
