Lite-On LH20A1P not recognised on Enterprise 4.5

Astol · 09-18-2007, 09:27 PM

hey guys,

i installed fine with this DVD drive, but it will not recognise it on login. do i need drivers or something? please help!

Can you explain exactly what you mean by 'not recognize' ?

For example, if your Fedora has the 'lshw' command, type it into a root console and look for the device in the list of hardware. If it is there, please post what it says. If 'lshw' is not on your system, it would be useful to download it from sourceforge, install it (very simple) and then run it and give us the output.

Or do you mean the drive won't recognize any media?

Can you post the section of your dmesg file (/var/log/dmesg) which shows what drives and IDE/SATA devices are detected?

Thanks.

Please clarify

there is no lshw command in RHEL4.5, i will try to download

as far as i can tell, the system does not recognise the device, let alone any media.

thanks for your help!

EDIT: NOTE: when installing, i had to use "linux all-generic-ide". also, i have a RAID array for my HDDs.

OK, definiteely don't see it in the dmesg. Meanwhile, hopefully you can get lshw and post that, and at some point, have a look in your BIOS at the settings for the IDE/ATA devices, and see if there is any particular settings for this device, and note what the BIOS is seeing the drive as. Like, is it set on AUTO, or CD/DVD, or USER and stuff like that.
Is it a SATA or IDE drive? If SATA, and the running kernel does not have the needed driver in it, but the installation kernel did, that would explain things.
OK, I'm off to bed; will look in tomorrow.

EDIT - I presume the 'all-generic-ide' was a boot-line flag? Why not add it again, using your LILO.CONF or GRUB command line (press e from the menu) and see if that atleast gets the drive up and running until a full explanation can be found?

here is the lshw output

OK, not 100% sure but this page may help. It's a BIOS & Kernel configuration for your motherboard, from the Gentoo Wiki. Different OS, yes, but the requirements for your hardware ought to be identical.
To check further, and save us further guesswork for the time being, you will need to check in the BIOS for several items pertaining to the IDE/SATA system:

BIOS:

Code:

   SATA AHCI Mode              [Enabled]
   SATA Port0-3 Native Mode    [Enabled]
   Onboard SATA/IDE Device     [Enabled]
   Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode  [AHCI]

And further, definitely is looking like a possible misconfiguration of your kernel. Perhaps the installation kernel you had used had a different configuration; it's common for the install kernel to be chock-full of every driver & module possible, and maybe your running kernel simply isn't the same. Here's the SATA/IDE drivers section of the kernel configuration:

Code:

Device Drivers  --->
    < > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support --->
    SCSI device support --->
        <*> SCSI disk support
        <*> SCSI CDROM support
        <*> SCSI generic support
    Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers --->
        <*> AHCI SATA support
        <*> Intel ESB, ICH, PIIX3, PIIX4 PATA/SATA support
        <*> JMicron PATA support

Compare your BIOS and kernel configurations to the above, and let us know how they compare.

Also note: That DVD drive is capable of the following data transfer modes: PIO-4, DMA-2 and UDMA-4, and is reported to want an 80-wire IDE cable for proper DMA performance. If you can choose one of these modes in the BIOS, that would be good too. If so, start with PIO, and if that works, try the DMA modes.

ok, how do i look at the kernel config?

BIOS will be more difficult to look at, as it is in production and is a critical system (i only implemented it yesterday). the CD drive isn't a HUGE issue, but i would like it to work.

Also, where would i add all-generic-ide to my grub.conf? which line?

GrapefruiTgirl · 09-23-2007, 09:10 PM

To look at the running kernel configuration, the easiest way would be to look in /proc for a file called config.gz. If you copy this file and extract it and save it as a non-compressed text file, it will be the .config file you would use when running menuconfig or xconfig. Or, you could just look through it manually in a text editor to see the options checked Y or N.

Another way would be to look in the kernel source area, if present on the system. It's the folder where the kernel would be compiled. the .config file last built should be in there.

As for adding that line to GRUB, I cannot say from experience. I use LILO, and have very little GRUB experience. GRUB confuses me

With LILO, I would have a line near the beginning of my lilo.conf file, in the GLOBAL section, like this:
append="all-generic-ide"
But how exactly to do this in GRUB, although it's probably very similar, I can't say. Check the man page (man grub) in a console. It will probably tell you how to do such a thing in the GRUB menu.lst file.
