Description of problem:
I am having my secondary hardisk (Seagate ST380020ACE 80 GB) unreadable by fedora 8. It reads it as 0 MB drive. Here's the output from dmesg.

'Fdisk -l' shows the information about the primary hardisk only ( WDC WD1600BB) . So its of no use. I tried fdisk on /dev/sdb, but still no info.


Today, I tried via knoppix and it mounted both the drives and all the partitions in them automatically. Here's the output of dmesg from knoppix 5.1.1.

As u can see fedora 8 reads the IDE drives as sd*, while knoppix reads its correctly according to the convention as hd*. What can be the problem? I want fedora 8 to be reading my secondary hardisk.

Comment 1 Jon Stanley 2008-01-18 22:21:11 UTC
sd* is correct for Fedora as it uses libata for access to ATA disks.  How large
is the second drive?

Fix is:
Commit     17bd9a2f4c35de29d2539a2ff6851d61be281e25
"libata and bogus LBA48 drives"



Comment 4 Prashant Saxena 2008-01-22 05:20:45 UTC
Is there something I need to do? @Jon : Drive is 80 GB

Comment 5 Andrew Farris 2008-01-22 06:49:24 UTC
Prashant, you'll need to download the kernel build that contains that fix and
test whether it works for your drive.  I don't believe that is in .115 built
today so I'm guessing maybe tomorrow it might be there.

Prashant, the rpm will be built by koji and available there before it makes it
to updates.  To test this you'll need to look at the link below tomorrow, and if
a kernel newer than kernel-2.6.23.14-115.fc8 gets built for F8 you should
download and install it from there.

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8

Comment 6 Prashant Saxena 2008-01-22 06:58:28 UTC
The kernel I am using is kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8. Neways how should I install the
new kernel? I mean is there a single package or a bunch of packages that I'll
have to install?

Comment 7 Andrew Farris 2008-01-22 07:31:22 UTC
You will download the latest kernel-2.6.23.14-x.fc8.i686 and kernel-devel that
matches the version.  Save the rpms and then install both either with rpm, yum,
or system-install-packages (opening them from nautilus will do that).  You
shouldn't need any of the other packages immediately.

Do NOT remove your old kernel (install, not upgrade), when you restart you'll
choose the new kernel in grub.  If the kernel boots then report back on whether
the drive sectors are recognized.

Comment 8 Chuck Ebbert 2008-01-23 00:08:47 UTC
Fix went in kernel 2.6.23.14-117.

Comment 9 Prashant Saxena 2008-01-23 13:10:34 UTC
I don't see any such kernel package in the link provided by @Andrew? PLease give
the link!

Comment 10 Chuck Ebbert 2008-01-23 19:36:47 UTC
Kernel is not built yet -- the first one built with that version number or
higher will contain the fix.

Comment 11 Prashant Saxena 2008-01-26 08:57:07 UTC
Hello,
 I see kernel-2.6.23.14-123.fc8 available. Is the fix available in it?

Comment 12 Andrew Farris 2008-01-26 09:25:42 UTC
Yes, kernels above -117 will have that fix unless it gets reverted.  Go ahead and try -123.

The changelog for the kernel build shows:
* Tue Jan 22 2008 Chuck Ebbert <cebbert> 2.6.23.14-117
- Work around broken Seagate LBA48 disks (#429364)

Comment 13 Prashant Saxena 2008-01-26 18:26:52 UTC
Woah! Thats cool. All the partitions (disk) are visible now! Thanx guys and I
appreciate your work. I installed kernel => -123, and it worked!

Comment 14 Fedora Update System 2008-02-11 03:34:00 UTC
kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8

Comment 15 Fedora Update System 2008-02-11 22:38:45 UTC
kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
