lspci -v output from Toshiba Portege laptop
Max, What are the modules that Ubuntu has loaded for that device? Can you attach the dmesg for FC and Ubuntu as well? Thanks, Hi Konrad, As requested - dmesg from Ubuntu 6.10. Can you tell me what I need to type to get my USB memory key mounted from the install SH prompt - dmesg on FC6 can see the usb device, but has not allocated it a /dev/sd[x] drive mapping. I have typed dmesg >> fc6dmesg.txt but I cannot mount my USB as yet. Thanks for your help so far. Max Created attachment 145289 [details]
Ubuntu 6.10 dmesg
In regards to your USB device, make sure you have 'usb-storage' and 'sd-mod' modules loaded. That should make the USB memory key show up. In regards to your storage device, Ubuntu shows that the 'ahci' driver is loaded, while with Fedora Core it is 'ata_piix'. There is a over-ride bootup parameter for that (so that you can force Fedora to load 'ahci') but I cannot remember it. I am CC-ing Bill Nottingham on this BZ who might have a better memory that I do :-) Created attachment 145355 [details]
Fedora Core 6 dmesg from Toshiba
Hi Konrad, Yes, actually I think we managed to submit to the same bug at the same time! Anyway, I fixed the problem with the usb-storage by actually having it plugged in at the time of kernel startup, instead of plugging the key after the kernel startup. I have uploaded the dmesg from FC6 on the Toshiba. Thanks Max Actually, there isn't an override - we just load both modules, and let them sort it out. Whoops, I forgot - if you pass 'noprobe', you can pick the driver. But that's not specific to ata_piix/ahci. Well, let me work on pushing the ahci driver to the disc bus and see what happens. What does concern is that if Ubutnu can pick out the correct driver, why does FC6 not correctly pick out the driver??? Just a thought on the selecting the correct driver - would passing 'ide=ahci' help at all? Yes, thank you chaps. That worked, and my Tosh is now running FC6 happily. Could you fix (if poss) the problem with the incorrect driver being detected? Thanks Max Max, Which workaround worked. The 'noprobe' or the 'ide=ahci' ? Hi Konrad, The 'linux noprobe' option, and selecting the ahci driver manually worked correctly. I didn't try the other one, although...it might work in therory (I am not totally sure of the kernel arguments...Bill - is the 'ide=ahci' a valid argument??) Max Not sure on ide=ahci - someone kernel side would have to comment. It won't change what drivers get loaded, but it might change how they respond once they do get loaded. |
