Hi, just a question: I have an older computer with a ASRock K7VT4A Pro mainboard and a VIA sata controller. A 320GB Seagate SATA disk worked pretty well with that board, but now I replaced it with a 500GB Western Digital SATA, and the BIOS does not recognize that new disk, allthough I've updated the BIOS to the latest available version. The disk is not available under Linux (latest Ubuntu, 2.6.20). I guess it is a BIOS problem, since the disk works in a different, newer machine with a newer mainboard. Is there any way to have Linux to ignore the BIOS and to access that disk even if the BIOS didn't recognize it? regards Hadmut - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Turn off NCQ on the drive, limit to 1.5GBps operation, try again, I have the same issue with a new RAPTOR (NCQ) and old motherboard.
