Silicon Image 3112A SATA Raid on Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
Well I have searched google, these forums, justlinux.com's forums and haven't found any solution, but many old posts stating this has been an issue. I recently downloaded Fedora Core 4, this is my first go at Fedora, or any Red Hat related linux, I've been running Slackware for a while now, but I wasn't using my SATA raid.
Anyway, I have a SATA RAID Silicon Image 3112A on-board (fakeraid) controller, that locks up the install when it tries to load the drivers. Here is the exact problem I have. The installer starts and tries to load the sata drivers: Loading sata_sil driver Disabling IRQ #11 It says the above and hangs. Anybody know where I can go with this. I have only SATA drives in this system now, they are striped, and half of the total stripe is dedicated to linux, while the other half is for windows. |
Same motherboard, same question
I have the same motherboard and a very similar question. I have an ATA drive installed with Fedora Core 4. (Which I'm using to post this question.) Hanging off the SATA controller is a Maxtor 200 GB drive that has Windows XP Pro installed on it.
Is there something that I'm missing on getting FC4 to see the SATA drive? Dan Richardson |
Hi all,
i have similar hardware (sata silicon image 3112a on a abit NF7-S), i maybe a clue for you. I had the same problem with modprobe sata_sil (disabling irq #11), I found a solution whith the activation of all IO_APIC features in kernel (2.6.13 work OK with that). hope this help |
