Motherboard with SATA, PCI. Won't recognise IDE board in PCI slot. What do I do?
Motherboard has 6 SATA inputs, no IDE. I put a PCI to 2 IDE connectors into PCI slot but cannot get it recognised (Ubunto 10.10) What do I do?

Post your 'lspci' output. ;)
|
You will have to find a kernel driver for the card.
|
Which one...
That is you installed an IDE controller card in a PCI slot. What is the make and model of the card? Have you checked to see that this card is supported in linux? Indeed, does it show up in the results of "lspci" and do you have any messages indicating that it's activated at boot. When I use an old Promise Ultra133 TX2 card, I see the card's BIOS load. Do you have Ubuntu installed? My Promise card is not recognized by a live-cd when I try to boot the live-cd from an CD-ROM connected to the card. There is an error message. |
As above but other checks too. Re-seat card. Move card to other slot. Is the board known OK? Is it known to work with linux.
Some bios's are just odd about add on cards too. |
Also check the motherboard's BIOS configuration for expansion cards.

Seems to be conflicting repotrs on that card. Quote:

Makes me think that possibly mdadm semi-worked but didtn work 100%. But then I found this- Quote:
Could be because of different ways that fedora 15 and ubuntu 10.10 deal with HDDs. So you could try mdadm. Or a IDE to SATA converter (I havent checked if they work with linux). Or a different IDE controller card. Or just get a SATA HDD to replace your old IDE discs. BTW, 10.10 is end of life and out of support. |
Thank you all very much for your help. It seems that VIA haven't got a driver for the card for Ubuntu 10.10, so I solved my problem by getting an external cast for the IDE drive, plugging it into the USB port & dd_ing the contents to my SATA drive.(can you have a verb ... "dd_ing"?)

That works as well.
dd_ing sounds fine to me. ;) |
