Greetings;
The only way I can get this box to boot is to disconnect the data cable on a
drive with 121 badblocks as somehow ASUS and JMicron-pata all seem to think
its /dev/sda when hooked up, and it is no longer bootable. I'm presently
booted from a sata drive on that interface, which this ASUS board has about 8
of.
The bad disk is PATA?
So I've booted with the data cable off, and hooked it up once booted. Unforch
there seems to be no discovery of its presence.
No /dev/sdd stuff was created when I plugged the data cable into the drive.
The install is the August 2008 F8 respin and is uptodate.
How can I make the system aware that it is now there? It has about 40 Gb of
data I'd like to recover if I can.
Hotplug isn't supported with PATA, so you shouldn't really try that.
Fedora installs usually use labels for the disk partitions, so it
shouldn't matter what device node the disk gets detected as?
