No SATA capable systems around the house to test this drive out, but with a SATA to USB converter I have been able to access SATA drives except this one particular Seagate drive. Upon connecting this drive dmesg shows

I have an Asus P5K motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo 8400. It has 2 SATA hard disks, a 250 GB Seagate and a 500GB Hitachi.
I've been running Fedora 10 x86_64 for 6 months on this computer without problems.
I'm trying to do a new Fedora 11 install on this computer but the installer (Anaconda?) only detects the Hitachi disk.
I've tried to make a new Fedora 10 install to check if it was a media or disk problem and it detects the two hard disks.
I've tried to install it via a Live CD, and the installer only detects the Hitachi disk. The LiveCD detects the two hard disks, I can access it, partition, format, write, but the installer only detects the Hitachi.
I've tried to change from Enhanced SATA (AHCI) to Compatible in BIOS without success and I've changed SATA cables from one disk to the other, changed the disk order and nothing.
Must I enter some boot parameters for Fedora 11? Has the LiveCD installer some options?
I have AMD athlon 64 processor, Seagate 160GB SATA Hard Disk, ASUS A8VMX mother board.With this configuration, I can Install FC7 without any error. But all the latest releases after FC7 is not detecting my Hard disk. Is there any solution to solve this problem? Actually I'm searching for a solution when the FC8 released. Now I have all the later releases from FC8 to FC11 DVD except FC9. But none is working .

View 2 Replies View RelatedI keep getting this error in my log viewer every 2 seconds: Code: ata4: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps I have a dual boot SSD and I have run many SMART tests in windows and linux, (using smartmon tools and the disk utility) and the reports are all 100% healthy..... My research shows that this error represents one of the following:
1. Problem with SATA controller
2. Changing BIOS to allow SATA
3. Changing SATA mode to PATA or AHCI
4. Replacing the SATA cable
5. Allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds, i.e. 3 Gbps
- Does anyone know how to try number 5, i.e. allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds? I am lost here and this problem has caused my machine to crash twice when watching a movie in linux/ ubuntu. (It is worth noting that the crashes have only occurred in linux and I have never had an issue in windows, so it does seem to be a linux setting somewhere, hence why I think it is a "allowing SATA II to run at correct speeds issue")
I installed Ubuntu 10.04, and happened to have an Silicom Images PCXpress card plugged in, and it kindly added the sil_sata module.This is fine for this chip set.I think that my earlier installation of Ubuntu 9.04 used Libata, which does support NCQ and also has good legacy support for the Intel Intel ICH7 chipset I have inside my Sony Vaio SZ notebook. Also, libata also support Silicon Image chipsets as far as I can tell from URL...I wish to remove the Silicom Images SATA modules and replace this with libata and then test the performance between the two device drivers.

I have a different problem: I can't see the drive at all. I plug it in, andit makes a beeping noise for a while (think 'Defcon 4', but not as loud). Then, it stops, but nothing's happened. fdisk -l just shows my normal 4 partitions.I'm running Ubuntu (Karmic), and this is a 500 GB FreeAgent GO drive from Seagate (brand new, right out-of-the-box).
View 3 Replies View RelatedAlright, im completely new to linux. I am somewhat knowledgeable with computers in general. My programming instructor for school told us that it would be in our best interest of the course to grab a linux distro and install it on our computers. (Don't ask me why, i dont know)ANYWAY, i am trying to get debian to install on my external USB 1.5TB Seagate HDD Drive. After learning a lot about Murphy's Law, i had to fix my MBR for windows (the windows installation is located on my internal SATA 1.5TB Seagate Drive) because GRUB wouldnt boot to windows unless i had my external plugged in.
So, the natural solution to me was to fix the MBR, unplug the internal, then re-install on my external, it worked. Well to my surprise, this cloud i was on... wasn't cloud 9. NOW, Debian will boot if i have the external plugged in and windows will boot if i have the internal plugged in. The Problem is, when i have both plugged in and my external set as the boot drive i get this weird error and it will not let me boot linux.Now, i have searched for a fix.. But the ones i have tried so far haven't worked or i wasn't sure how to use those fixes(because im new).The error went as follows:/bin/sh can't access tty; job control mode offthen i get a initramfs command line. (I think thats proper terminology)The temporary fix i have going right now is i have my computer open and the SATA cable unplugged so i can boot to Debian.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy Seagate Momentus XT hybrid hard drive is corrupting files on Linux. I would appreciate help from anyone, but I'd particularly like to know if other Momentus XT users are able to reproduce this problem;I have provided step-by-step instructions for reproducing this issue on the Seagate Community Forums.So far, four users have reproduced this problem on the following laptops and OS/distributions:
Five laptops: Lenovo Thinkpad T60, T61, T510, MSI MS-1656-ID1, and MacBook Pro (15" late 2009).
Four OS/distributions: Ubuntu 11.04, Fedora 15, openSUSE, and Mac OS X.
The instructions for reproducing the problem are simple. Here is a brief verbal description: Create a large test file, save it to another storage device (not the Momentus XT), and compute the SHA-1 checksum.Write the test file to the Momentus XT.Read the test file from the Momentus XT, calculate the SHA-1, and compare this checksum with the checksum of the original. We should have a match. We have probably reproduced the problem if they don't match. (Only 'probably', because it is possible for other issues to cause a mismatch. See the Seagate thread about identifying this specific problem by comparing the files with cmp -l.)Repeat from step (2).The Seagate thread has more details. Here are some notes from my testing (I have been able to reproduce this problem on three consecutive Momentus XT drives; I RMA'd twice and am now on the third one):
What seems to be happening is that the Momentus XT sometimes neglects to write data to the drive, so that when I read from the drive, I get what was originally on the sector, and not the correct data. This occurs in blocks of different sizes; typical sizes are 1 MiB and 512 KiB.Problem occurs on ext2, ext4, Btrfs, NTFS, and FAT32. Strangely, I was not able to reproduce this problem on ext3.Writing with the oflag=direct output flag in dd avoids this problem. Rapidly commiting data to disk with while true; do sync; sleep 0.01; done also prevents the problem.
I have only been able to reproduce this problem through a SATA and an eSATA interface. A USB connection seems to prevent the problem. (Not sure if this is due to transfer speed.)problems occur more often with large files (>2 GB). I was not able to produce problems with files smaller than about 85 MB.I was not able to reproduce the problem on Windows XP with NTFS.Gazoi at the Seagate forums was unable to reproduce the problem on FreeBSD 8.2 with UFS2.The Momentus XT passes both the extended SMART test and badblocks -w with no issues.My laptop (MS-1656-ID1) has successfully passed through 24 hours each of Memtest86+, Memtest86, memtester,and MPrime.I have tested two other storage devices (a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 and an Intel 320 series SSD) with the same procedure, and they both pass with no issues.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm looking at getting a Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB drive for my HTPC. However I was initially looking at the WD Cavier Green due to it's power saving features. Upon finding out about the Green's problems interacting with the Linux Kernel I have ditched the idea of getting a WD.
Does the Barracuda suffer from similar problems as the Cavier Green.Are there any problems at all with the drive and the kernel not playing nice together? Do I need to set anything in the kernel config to help enable power saving features of the drive so that when the PC is not in use the drive uses as little power as possible?
How could I get the Slackware Linux distro on my external HDD booted up from my notebook? I'm using a notebook bought in 2006, the configuration is 60GB HDD, 940gml chip, 2GB memory, 1.6GHz Celeron-D CPU. I bought a USB2.0 3.5inch 1TB "Seagate Expansion External Drive". The file system of the only partition on it is NTFS. I installed Grub MBR on the external HDD using grubinst then copy the grldr, grub.exe and menu.lst to it, added Slax to the only partition, then I could get Slax booting up. However, the external HDD could only get booting up when my notebook is first power on; if I reboot it, the external HDD would auto turn off and on when sef-checking and cannot be shown in the Esc boot menu. I tried to install Slackware 13.1 to the external HDD successfully but failed to boot. I used WinPM to resize the primary partition to make about 60GB space at the end of the disk for Linux distro.
I booted the Slackware USB image from Grub4DOS, and ran cfdisk to make partitions from the 60GB space for Linux, ran setup to install Slackware. Then at the step of the lilo bootloader configure, if I select to install the lilo in MBR, it would fail to boot, displaying "L..."; if I select to install the lilo in the super block of the "root" partition then boot from grub, it would fail too, because I found that there is no way to mount the Linux partitions of the external HDD in the grub cmd line. When I say "root (hd0,4)", it would halt without any prompt. If I say "root (hd0," then press the Tab key, instead of listing the partitions on hd0, it would halt too. If I set the root partition of the Linux install as the second primary partition and install Slackware distro to it, the grub would show error either saying it cannot recorgnize the ext4 file system(ext4 fs, sda2) or unable to mount selected partition(ext2 fs).
by default fedora 13 mounts the drive under /media/uuid, with no read or write access to users other than root. I need to be able to turn the drive on, have it automount so that I can read and write to it without logging in as root every time and dealing with changing permissions on files, etc.
In other distributions, this has worked flawlessly, but I'm not familiar enough with Fedora 13 yet to get it working. I've read the man pages, tried to search, but I can't seem to find a working answer,If I could get this one little inconvenience fixed, I'd be set... loving Fedora so far.
I have seen a lot of threads here and on others forums about problems with these models. I have a regular seagate portable that works great. The threads are all 2009 and older, so I was wondering if anyone could confirm that the free agent go portable models work before I buy one. Especially with 11.3. I can get a 640GB for $99.

So I plugged in both power usb cables to the laptop and it seems to be detected by the OS, but being a newbie to linux I do not know how to read the contents of my drive which is formatted in NTFS. Is it because of the NTFS that's why the harddisk does not show up?
I did a quick google and here is what I get while trying to dig for more info:

I have a dual boot PC with Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.1. The problem did start with Ubuntu 9.04. I think the problem started around the same time I added a Seagate FreeAgent USB hard drive for backups. The GRUB OS list will come up after the PC boots. I can select Vista and it will start w/o a problem. If I try to boot to Ubuntu the PC will restart itself. It may try and start Ubuntu MANY times until it eventually gets started. I have tried to repair the problem with no results so far. I have tried it with and without the Seagate device attached.

I have a Seagate Freedesk external drive. I formatted it to ext3 (as per several posts regarding this)However I cannot mount the drive. If I go "places" "computer" I can see the drive (simply entitled USB Drive) but if I try to open it it says "cannot mount the drive". If I right click and select "Mount Volume" I get Nothing. How can I get this to auto mount like other usb drives? I am using Hardy on a Compaq Laptop.

I have been a Linux user for about 6 years now, and recently switched to Fedora just to try something new. I used Ubuntu for the majority of the time so I am somewhat familiar with the command line, but seem to be having trouble with my external HDD. Ubuntu automounted it no problem. Fedora doesn't seem to like to do that. I tried searching and I did what almost every thread insisted upon; which is mount /dev/sdb(that is what dmesg said) but it says already mounted or /mnt/busy. So this is the extent of my Terminal experience with mounting an external drive, and I am completely dumbfounded as to why it simply won't mount. I am liking Fedora so far and so long as there is a remedy for this I don't plan on going back.
