Does Debian kernel supprt Intel 945P + ICH7 chipset? I have problem with SATA disk on Intel 945 & ICH 7 chipsets
I have Debian Sarga-3.1 and FreeBSD-6.1 on my i686 machine running on
2 IDE disks. I also have a SATA disk on the machine.
The system is Intel 945P + ICH7 chipset based machine, has 82801GB
SATA and ATA controllers. The BIOS detached all 3 Disks, so did
Freebsd (even Freebsd can only mount the first partition of the SATA
disk).
FreeBSD-6.1 shows the system information:
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 5 CPU 2.66GHz (2659.89-MHz 686-class CPU)
Cores per package: 2
real memory = 1073545216 (1023 MB)
avail memory = 1041428480 (993 MB)
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs
cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0
cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1
re0: <RealTek 8169SB Single-chip Gigabit Ethernet>
pcm0: <Avance Logic ALC850 AC97 Codec>
ad0: 76319MB <Seagate ST380023A 3.53> at ata0-master UDMA100
acd0: DVDROM <TSSTcorpDVD-ROM TS-H352C/CH01> at ata0-slave UDMA33
ad4: 152627MB <WDC WD1600JS-19MHB0 02.01C03> at ata2-master SATA150
But Debian can not find the SATA disk (160G SATA) when I boot the
machine. So I got a new kernel version 2.6.10 from Debian website
using "apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.10", this kernel still could
not find my SATA disk either. Then I compiled my own kernel(2.6.16.20)
with SCSI support but without luck.
#dmesg only shows: SCSI subsystem initialized
When I did a "#cat /proc/scsi/scsi" I get:
Attached devices:
When I did "#ls /sys/block", I got:
hda ram0 ram10 ram12 ram14 ram2 ram4 ram6 ram8
hdb ram1 ram11 ram13 ram15 ram3 ram5 ram7 ram9
there are no folders like sdX inside.
Does Debian kernel support Intel 945P + ICH7 chipset? Any idea?
Thanks in advanced.
