SATA nForce and kernel 2.6.8-24.10
 

Hello,

I've just compiled a new kernel and everything seems to work fine except the Sata support...
I have a SATA hard drive connected to my nForce2 Motherboard, and there's no way I can mount it :/

lsmod tells me sata_sil is loaded, so I guess the drive should be detected...
My drive appears in /dev/generic/by-id/: "SATA_Maxtor_6Y160M0_Y44V9XXE"

# sginfo -l
/dev/sda
/dev/sg0 [=/dev/sda scsi1 ch=0 id=0 lun=0]

I really don't know what's wrong, I'm guessing it has something to do with my fstab config file...
What would be the proper mount command in this case? (fs=vfat)

Did I miss anything in the kernel config?

Thank you

I have the same problem and can't figure out how to resolve it. HOWEVER, when I downgrade to kernel 2.4.27, the SATA drive works and I could mount it as /dev/hdex (x is the partition number).

The mount command (for your case) should be:
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdax /dir-to-mount
(x is again the partition number)
