Anymore issues or problems, I will answer you ASAP. My SATA jacks are different because I needed to install my new DVD-RW drive. Thus, 3 SATA jacks, not 2 now.
:~$ dev/scsi0
bash: dev/scsi0: No such file or directory
:~$ dev/cdrom0
bash: dev/cdrom0: No such file or directory
What's the problem, now? My DVD-RW is not recognize my ifuse anymore.
$ /dev/scd0
bash: /dev/scd0: Permission denied
$ /dev/sr0
bash: /dev/sr0: Permission denied
There is no application installed for block device files
Name: scd0
Type: Link to block device (inode/blockdevice)
Does your BIOS list the DVD drive and is it seen on your POST screen?
BIOS: SOX5810J.86A.2127.2008.0914.1638
SATA PORT 0: OPTIARC DVD RW A-ATAPI (NEW DVD RW)
SATA PORT 2: ATAPI IH BS324 ATAPI (OLD DVD RW)
SATA PORT 4: 1000.2 GB (HARD DRIVE)
SATA 1,3, 5 ARE NOT INSTALLED
POST:GRUB LOADER
MANY I/O ERRORS. (20-25 ERRORS)
I will try the live-CD after my thread.
My motherboard:
Intel Desktop Board DX58SO Extreme Series - motherboard - ATX - iX58 - LGA1366 Socket
POST: Grub Loader
error request, I/O error, dev, sr1, sector 0
Many errors on the start-up.
You think it's the SATA jacks? I removed the SATA connection for the old DVD-RW for the new DVD-RW and switched the hard drive to another SATA. What do you think?
I opened my new DVD-RW and this happened:
Could not open the location: “cdda://sr1/'
Failed to execute child process "sound-juicer" (No such file or directory)
I never opened the "sound-juicer" before.
You could try a using a live-cd while changing the order of the controller connections to the two SATA DVD drives and the HDD. Try the first three with the HDD as the third, mimicking Master-Slave, Master on a PATA controller.
The motherboard manual tells me that this board has RAID settings in the BIOS and an Auto-Configuration Option for the I/O controller. I would check the RAID settings for AHCI, not RAID, and choose manual configuration for I/O.
Upgrading to the latest BIOS might also be a very good idea.
As the manual states:
Quote:
You can override the auto-configuration options by
specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.
It does seems that the DVD disks are found by linux as devices, but then linux becomes confused. The I/O problems shown might be caused by the controller settings.
Also, try the command "lsmod" to see what kernel modules are loaded for the drives.
