** ** I'm off list, so please CC: me! ** Hi, I've just got the second HDD for a server, nearly identical to the first, but the problem is that the ide driver isn't loaded at boot time. i.e. what happens during boot is: ... hda: ST340824A, ATA DISK drive hdb: CREATIVECD-RW RW8432E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM hdc: ST340810A, ATA DISK drive hdd: HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7500, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ... as you see, the drive is detected. But when I try reading the drives... # hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multicount = 16 (on) ....... [works] # hdparm /dev/hdc hdc: driver not present /dev/hdc: No such device or address The first [oldest] drive works fine, but the second [new] drive doesn't! # cat /proc/ide/hda/driver ide-disk version 1.10 # cat /proc/ide/hdc/driver (none) A bodge fix is to... # cat /proc/ide/hda/driver > /proc/ide/hdc/driver hdc: 78165360 sectors (40021 MB) w/2048KiB Cache,CHS=77545/16/63 # hdparm /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: multicount = 16 (on) ...... [works!] So, does anyone know why it doesn't load the driver at boot time, and how to get it to do so? -- Thanks, ---------------------------------------------------------------- -0) Hereward Cooper "Being Alone Draws Attention" Somerset, UK /\\ zadok@phreaker.net GPG: CCBBA7D3 zadok.ddts.net _\_v --------------------------------------------------------------------
