Hi gentoo-fans, |

|

I recently bought a VIA K8M890 based mobo (asus a8v-vm) and tried |
4 |
to install gentoo on it. To my big surprise, my two s-ata disks |
5 |
have not been detected, so my installation finished very soon :-( |
6 |
To my surprise, old backup p-ata drive has been detected, |
7 |
as well as other peripherials attached to the southbridge VT8251 |
8 |
(network, on-board graphics, sound). I installed gentoo on that |
9 |
old p-ata drive, recompilled kernel with whatever via/s-ata |
10 |
options, but no help. Still s-ata drives not detected... |
11 |
|
12 |
Board is definitelly good, I tried installing windows, and s-ata |
13 |
disks have been correctly recognised. Seems only linux has somehow |
14 |
problem. And this southbridge is nothing new, used at least one year |
15 |
in various via-chipsets... |
16 |
|
17 |
Does anybody have some experiences with s-ata disks attached to |
18 |
via k8m880/890 (vt9251) and gentoo/linux? Or where could I find |
19 |
some info about the latest status of linux <-> k8m880/890 support? |
