What storage controller are you disks attached to? It should be the internal SATA controller from the lspci list: 00:1f.2 IDE interface: 82801H (ICH8 Family) 4 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 02) The product I tried it is a HP dc7700 Mini Tower. I tried today to install a HP dc5800 with the same result. The SATA controller in the dc5800 are: 8086:2921: 82801IB (ICH9) 2 port SATA IDE Controller 8086:2926: 82801I (ICH9 Family) 2 port SATA IDE Controller If you switch to tty2 and run dmesg, are there any messages that indicate the kernel was able to see your controller or the drives attached to it? I think the controller is found but not the harddisk. The DVD-ROM is found. scsi0: ata_piix scsi1: ata_piix ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1f0 [...] ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x170 [...] ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 621 SControl 300) ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata2.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-STDVD-ROM [...] ata2.00: configured for UDMA/100 [...] I couldn't get the output on USB-Stick so I copied it by typing. Can the controller be set to AHCI mode in the BIOS? ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 621 SControl 300) ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) Too bad there's no documentation for what SStatus 621 and 113 mean. I have the following options for the SATA controller: Multisector Transfers: 16 (Disable, 8, 16) Transfer Mode: Max UDMA (PIO 0, Max PIO, Enhanced DMA, Ultra DMA 0, Max UDMA) Translation Mode: Automatic (Bit Shift, LBA Assisted, User [Cylinders, Heads, Sectors], Off) SATA Power Management: Enable (Disable) The values are the default factory settings. I couldn't find anything saying "AHCI". Should I try some of the other options? |
