The mobo in my P4 pc died last week so my P4 became a Core2 Duo.
The new mobo only has one PATA channel but the PC has 3 IDE drives.
I installed an ATA133 controller card (VIA vt6410) and connected
it to the IDE dvd-burner. The two IDE HD's are connected to the
single IDE channel on the mobo.
This is a multi-boot pc with fc7, fc11 and WinXP, and I could
still boot into fc11 and XP after the hardware replacement.
When I boot into XP, the DVD burner attached to the VIA
controller is fully functional.
But when booted into fc11, the dvd drive can't be seen. The
pata_via driver seems to be loaded and entries in dmesg suggest
that the VIA controller is recognized. Device Manager in KDE
shows:
PCI Bridge {82801 PCI Bridge - Intel}
RAID Controller {VT6410 ATA133 - VIA Technologies}
SCSI Host Adapter
SCSI Host Adapter
lspci lists the controller:
04:01.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6410 ATA133
RAID controller (rev 06)
I've upgraded from fc11 to fc12 (32-bit) and the kernel is now
2.6.32.11-99.fc11.686. The DVD burner remains invisible.
Can anyone suggest a path to getting the DVD burner working in
Fedora with this controller card?
Regards and thanks in advance for any help you can offer
