Hi all,
I just got a gigabyte solid state disk on a test. However, it is not seen by linux. The problem is described well here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=411600
What can one do when there *is* something on the sata port but the driver doesn't recognize it? It's not even in the /sys/block/ or /sys/bus/scsi/ ... If I don't have the device, I can't use sg utils to ask it how it feels ...
I'd really want to use this ssd under linux, but I don't know how to debug the problem from here.
Please set up either a vanialla kernel (preferably the latestet one,
2.6.16-rc5) or, if you can use git, #upstream branch of libata-dev
repository. Before compiling the kernel, change #undef ATA_DEBUG in
include/linux/libata.h to #define ATA_DEBUG. You might also need to
increase the size of printk buffer size (kernel hacking -> kernel log
buffer size).
After booting with such kernel, please post the result of dmesg.
Thanks.
