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*

I would have expected the IDE to show up as /dev/sda
the RAID to be /dev/sdb & /dev/sdc and the data drive to be /dev/sdd.
or the IDE to show up as /dev/sdd.

The three SATA drives show up in the same order as listed below, but the IDE drive does not show up at all (/dev/sda or /dev/sdd)

The three SATA drives show up in the same order as listed below, but the IDE drive does not show up at all (/dev/sda or /dev/sdd)
that's definitely a little odd. This is the installer kernel or the F9 booted kernel?

do you see it under /dev/disk/by-id/ ?
If you boot the installer into rescue mode can you see it?

Hi Stephen,

Did you ever fix this?

Google has only heard of the N1L64-SLI motherboard from your posts – are
you sure that you got the model name right?

It’s possible that your PATA drive is plugged into an IDE adapter
without libata support. Is the drive plugged into the motherboard, or
into a separate PCI card? Is the chipset Nvidia, or something else, like
Intel?

Normally, I’d expect a motherboard with SLI in the name to be based on
an Nvidia chipset, and use that chipset’s on-board PATA support. I can
confirm that I’ve never had problems with the on-board PATA on an Asus
nForce 4 motherboard since about FC3; I’ve never heard of particular
problems with Nvidia’s PATA support, and I doubt Nvidia have done much to
change it over the years. But it’s possible that Asus might have used a
separate PCI or PCI Express PATA adapter.

Recent Intel chipsets don’t have PATA: any motherboard support comes
from a separate PCI or PCI Express PATA adapter on the motherboard. In
that case, you might have got an unusual chip without decent support.

In any case, the output of /sbin/lspci will be instructive.

Hope this helps,

James.
