I want to install FC9 in place of my old Debian 4
I have one PATA three SATA hard drives and a SATA DVD-RW on a
ASUS N1L64-SLI WS motherboard with the 0505 bios release
IDE:
/dev/hda1 ntfs Windows vista boot
/dev/hda2 linux-swap
/dev/hda3 reiserfs debian /
SATA:
/dev/sda1 &
/dev/sda2 configured with LVM as RAID 1 mounted as /home
/dev/sdc1 ntfs windows data drive
The problem is that FC9 will not see the ide drive (/dev/hda) it does
not show up in /proc/partitions
I tried Fedora Live 8 with the same result, the kernel sees the SATA
drives but not the IDE
I have tried various boot parameters such as libata.dma=0 or
ide=nodma
I do not think it is a BIOS problem because I am running the older
Linux just fine. Also, various live CD's such as
Knopix and SLAX see all four drives.
I can always add another SATA drive just for the Linux OS, but I would
rather see this problem solved first.
Fedora changed how it see's hard drives in Fedora 8, all IDE and SATA
drives are listed as /dev/sd*
