From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040822 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: It seems the serial ata hard drive cannot be found. I tried rebuilding the initrd with: mkinitrd --preload sata_nv /boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.521.reiser.img.gz 2.6.8-1.521 and the ram disk then contains the modules: /lib/sata_nv.ko /lib/scsi_mod.ko /lib/libata.ko but again it won't boot. older kernels boot fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.8-1.521.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.use yum to upgrade to the latest kernel 2.reboot into 2.6.8 Additional info:
Adding the following line to your /etc/modprobe.conf will fix this if your initrd.img was in fact created correctly. I am running it now with this kernel. Your drives will now be visible as /dev/sdY instead of /dev/hdX. I made my initrd with `mkinitrd -f --with=sata_nv /boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.521.img 2.6.8-1.521` /etc/modprobe.conf: alias scsi_hostadapter sata_nv
Thanks a lot That did the trick
I have the same problem with fedora core 2, so i downloaded fedora core 3 test #3 and now the hard drives are even being detected! ive tried various settings in the bios no luck. I have a soltek nforce3 250gb motherboard.
mass update for old bugs: Is this still a problem with the 2.6.9 based update kernel ?
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
