Just a week or so ago I was switching from an IDE hard drive to SATA, a |
| 23 |
task which entailed adding SATA port to my kernel, tweaking grub, etc. |
| 24 |
At one point, when selecting a drive (by switching cables), the mobo |
| 25 |
end of the SATA cable got detached. Since I was experimenting with |
| 26 |
software settings I assumed a mistake was why the SATA drive was no |
| 27 |
longer visible. It was a while before I thought to check the cable. |

Sigh :-< |
