ianalis Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) Hi! I have a new sata drive (seagate 80gb 7200.7) and it was detected by the bios. The driver, ata_piix for intel ich5, was detected and loaded but the drive is not detected. Since it's new, there are no partitions there. I'm using mandrake 10.1. I've read that it's compatible that's why I bought it. Any ideas? I've tried to stfw and this forum but the results were about installing a distro on it. Btw, I have kernel 2.6.8.1-12smp if that's important Edited January 23, 2005 by ianalis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Open a console and run: $ su <enter root password> # lsmod and post your output here. Also post your /etc/fstab and describe what steps you took to get the drive detected and partitioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianalis Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi! Thanks for giving me the idea. Apparently, the module was not loaded. I just loaded the module, ata_piix, and it worked. I added it to modules.preload so that it will be loaded everytime I boot. I thought it is automatically loaded since it was detected. I was wrong :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
