Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2 In linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 4 port SATA controller (G965/ICH8) using ahci driver is unable to detect all attached drives. Only 2 drives are recognized (sdc, sdd):
2.6.18-4-amd64: atlas:~# dmesg | grep scsi scsi0 : sata_sil24 scsi1 : sata_sil24 sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdb scsi2 : ahci scsi3 : ahci scsi4 : ahci scsi5 : ahci sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdc sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdd Looks like it's manufactured on Intel DG965RY as 6 port controller with two dummy/unused sata ports which can cause in some cases alot headache when installing etch. In 2.6.21-2-amd64 newer ahci driver fixes this issue. 2.6.21-2-amd64: atlas:~# dmesg | grep scsi | grep -v WDC scsi0 : ahci scsi1 : ahci scsi2 : ahci scsi3 : ahci scsi4 : ahci scsi5 : ahci scsi6 : sata_sil24 sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdb sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdc sd 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdd scsi7 : sata_sil24 sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sde sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdf scsi8 : pata_marvell Controller info: 00:1f.2 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation 82801HB (ICH8) 4 port SATA AHCI Controller [8086:2824] (rev 02) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HB (ICH8) 4 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 514d Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 58 Region 0: I/O ports at 6048 [size=8] Region 1: I/O ports at 605c [size=4] Region 2: I/O ports at 6040 [size=8] Region 3: I/O ports at 6058 [size=4] Region 4: I/O ports at 6020 [size=32] Region 5: Memory at 90500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: [80] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit- Queue=0/4 Enable+ Address: fee00000 Data: 403a Capabilities: [70] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [a8] #12 [0010] Best Regards, Zdenek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
