Hi,
some days ago I installed a second SATA hd on my computer. When booting Knoppix with Kernel 2.4.27 everythin is fine: The disk is recognized, I can mount it as sdb1 and write some data on it.
When I boot my under debian with kernel 2.6.8 it seems that the disk is found:
Code:
#dmesg
SCSI device sda: 390721968 512-byte hdwr sectors (200050 MB)
SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Vendor: ATA Model: ST3400832AS Rev: 3.03
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
SCSI device sdb: 781422768 512-byte hdwr sectors (400088 MB)
SCSI device sdb: drive cache: write back
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
and also using cdrecord -scanbus or "cat /proc/partitions" shows me the disk as sdb and the partition sdb1 I created with Knoppix:
Code:
# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
8 0 195360984 sda
8 1 175783198 sda1
8 2 4883760 sda2
8 3 4883760 sda3
8 4 9807682 sda4
8 16 390711384 sdb
8 17 390708801 sdb1
Unfortunatley when I try to mount the partition or try to use fdisk to list all partitions I get an error/no output:
Code:
# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
# fdisk /dev/sdb
Unable to open /dev/sdb
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
Installing the Kernel 2.4.27 didn't helped me at all: After booting from the sda neither sda nor sdb show up in fdisk ...
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
TIA, Olf
