I'm installing a new HDD on an older (in P4 terms) P4 2.0 GB. On bootup I see it noticed in dmesg or but doesn't get an IRQ. (See snippet from dmesg) And once booted up, fdisk doesn't know about it.
I pulled out the ribbon to two cd drives and connected This new drive by itself as master with no slave. (Just to start tinkering). Anyone that can spot something or has a nifty idea or question please respond.
