need to find what device "ata5" is on my computer.When booting my box today I noticed the following message in the dmesg log:
Code:
ata5: softreset failed (timeout)
Not sure what this is all about, but I would very much like to find which disk this message relates to - however, for the life of me I can't find out which block device it is.
Recently, I created a device sc0 through device mapper. The divice could be found in /dev/mapper/sc0. My problem is that the device doesn't exist in /dev/partitions which will block my following test.BTW, I found dm-0 in /dev/partitions. Is it the same as /dev/mapper/sc0? But the device /dev/dm-0 doesn't exist!
I started to have a particular problem with my hard drivers, I can hear how they do a weird noise, like the one that a hard disk does when you start your PC, but it's very often once per second while I use my computer, if the computer is idle nothing happens. Sometimes it says that the error it is on ata3, sometimes it is on ata5

What could be the problem? I have 4 SATA disks, in 2 of these disks I have in each one a partition of 250 GB and are mirror under mdadm as raid1. What about the names ata3 ata5 which are the real disks affected?
I just compiled my first own kernel (I'm using Arch Linux), following the tutorial on the german site. Now I tried to boot it, I ended up failing with this message: Code: Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda1 ... Root device '/dev/sda1' doesn't exist, Attempting to create it. ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda1' Here is the important part of my menu.lst:
[Code]....
I simply copy&pasted the Arch-entry, i.e. I also had the disk by uuid there. The failure message was the same, just the root device name was the different name Also, at first I did not have the initrd line in my menu.lst (as written in my tutorial that I may not need it). In this case I had this error message:
I've just update my computer to Ubuntu Lucid and I'm having some problems.After a random time, my mouse and keyboard stop working and I get the following lines on dmesg (I have to get this using a ssh connection):
How can I find which /dev/? device to mount my USB hard drive on redhat 3 taroon, I've been googling a lot and checked log files and still no clue. I'm trying my last chance with you experts, # /sbin/fdisk -lgives nothing about the USB drive

I have a microphone that I connected via USB. When I do dmesg it shows [37830.040274] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 How do I find out what /dev/??? identifier has been associated with the device? I want to record something using XVidCap and need to set the microphone for it to work.
What command do I need to use to find the device name of drives , in particular an inserted USB drive that is not mounted yet ?Everywhere I search tell me to do this:
Code: tail -f /var/log/messages But that file doesn't exist
what would be the simplest way to find out device IP address? I don't know its factory set address, so my plan is to connect laptop directly to it with ethernet. it should respond to ping.
I have the 64 bit 13.0 version installed. I have an hp f4440 all-in-one printer installed and connected via usb. I downloaded and installed the new hplip 3.9.12 after removing the older hplip 3.9.4 version. I used CUPS to install and setup the printer. No problems, I let it search and it found the printer right away. When I ran XSane it could not find the device. I clicked help and it gave some steps. The first being to try as root. I opened a root terminal and entered xsane, it found and opened after a warning about running it as root. I checked and my user name and root are entered in the scan group.
I had grub trouble with a hardware change and have been trying to solve this. I think I have done more harm then good. I can not boot into Ubuntu or Windows 7. Here is the boot info script and other info on my problem. Can someone please help me with this,
Code: Processing triggers for libc-bin ... ldconfig deferred processing now taking place ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo os-prober /dev/sda1:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain
I have this software I want to use to extract data from a Polar heart rate monitor. Everything related to sound is working flawlessly. I just need to know the device name of the front microphone ("microphone" 2" in sound properties) so that I can insert it in the following cli command for a script: "rs200_decode -m /dev/XXX -b -o /home/user/dumb.bin"
I checked the forums but I only see references to /dev/dsp, /dev/audio, etc. I don't have any of those but rather /dev/snd/controlC0, hwC0D2, pcmC0D0c, pcmC0D0p, pcmC0D1p and pcmC0D2c.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit. The sound card is a generic HDA Intel audio chip. Lspci outputs: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller.
I have a usb to serial converter which i plug in to Ubuntu Natty.I see that on every reboot this seems to come up as a different device name, say ttyUSB0, ttyUSB3 etc.I want to write a simple shell script to get the name of the device in a shellscript.
/dev/fd0 does not exist. I have floppy disks I wish to use.m using debian unstable.Nautilus doesn't recognize it, nor does dolphin. I have no clue if the floppies are formatted or not.fdisk -l only sees sda, my hard drive.Floppies are so neat! I want to use them in linux.
I have a raid array using mdadm made up of two drives. The drives have two parts, the first for boot information and the 2nd for LVM. Everything but /boot is under LVM management. Originly the two drives were hooked up to a sata controller in a computer with no on-board sata. However I was not able to get the computer to boot to a sata drive off of that controller. So there was an IDE drive with the MBR that loaded grub.
Now the computer in that setup seems to have died. So the drives were moved to another computer with an on-board sata controller and now the bootup works as far as getting to the grub menu. However after the grub menu the error message "Cannot find root device"
I found the boot info script [URL].. note at the time that was run the computer was running with one drive that has a full Debian install with the raid drive in question mounted and chrooted into. The script was ran from the chroot envirment.[URL]..
I've installed a Squeeze-based distro - Crunchbang - with an encrypted root partition (no LVM), and it won't boot.
Here's what I get: Loading initial ramdisk. Loading, Gave up waiting for root device ALERT! /dev/mapper/hda5_crypt does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Here's my partition table: hda1 - Windows (Truecrypted) hda2 - GRUB2 hda5 - / hda6 - unused swap
[Code]...
What should I look for? Where do I go from the initramfs shell? Do I chroot? What then? This might be a Crunchbang issue (although others blame LVM which I didn't use, and it's the original Debian installer after all), but there's gotta be a reason it doesn't boot
I've installed Fedora 15 with Fedora 14 already installed in other partitions, but now I can't boot Fedora 14 as it prompts "no root device found", these are both grub.confQuote:
How do you find out which driver is being used for a certain device. Say that I run lsusb and I find "Bus 007 Device 002: ID 046d:c043 Logitech, Inc. MX320/MX400 Laser Mouse", how can I find out what the active driver for the device is?Also, is there some way to list all available drivers for a device? Is there a way to change the driver at runtime?
How do you find the device (e.g. /dev/*) for a mounted USB drive in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)? I'm trying to format a Cruzer USB flash drive, and when I plug it in, the icon for the mounted filesystem appears on my desktop. However, when I open GParted, it doesn't list the filesystem as an option to partition.
The recommendations I've found through Google include monitoring tail -f /var/log/messages, which they claim should list the device name when the drive is mounted, but this never happens for me. I've also read that the USB drive would usually be linked to /dev/sdb, but this appears as a broken link on my filesystem. How else would I find the device?
I switched to the linux-image-rt kernel a while back, and decided yesterday to switch back to linux-image-generic. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember how to do this properly, so I just uninstalled all of the linux-rt related packages and then changed the /vmlinuz and /initrd.img symbolic links back to what they used to be and rebooted. So now the machine gets stuck in a memtest whenever I boot from the HD. I'm having trouble figuring out how to fix things from a rescue CD. If I try chroot /mnt/hd (where my old system was), and then update-grub, for example, I get: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). So, basically I'm completely lost, but also sure that a working system isn't more than a few simple commands away. Can anyone throw me a bone?
I have a device (not a pc) connected to my pc via ethernet, it dose not show up in networks, I was hoping there was a way of scanning to detect for it, is there a way of seeing content of it is basically what I'm asking?
