Hardware :: New Sata Disk Not Working?

Apr 1, 2010

I bought 2 new 1,5TB sata disks for my server. But when I plug them in my debian gives a error message: ata2: SRST failed error -16

The debian runs from an old 500GB ide disk and a 160Gb ide disk for the home dirs.

I tried antoher cable, but that is not the problem(or is that other cable also broken...). I also tried all sata modes in bios, auto, enhanced, sata-only. I also tried booting an ubuntu 9.10 live cd. But in gparted the disks won't show up.

Is it possible that the sata controller of the motherboard is to slow.

General :: Boot From Disk With Both USB And SATA

Aug 17, 2010

I have a SSD Harddisk with both an usb and Sata connection, and I want to be able to boot both from usb and sata but I can't make it work. When the disk is connected with sata anything works fine but when I connect it with usb instead, Fedora seems to boot but then it gives me an "No root device found" error and just sleep forever. This happens even if I install fedora 13 while the disk is connected with usb. I am running Fedora Core 13. I changed my fstab to
/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults 1 1

And the disk is still booting when connected to the sata controller. So far so good. But if I boot from the usb connection, it still give me the same "No root device found" message. Even more odd is it that if I boot my fedora core 13 dvd, and choose "rescue installed system" it can't detect the harddisk when connected to usb. And there is no /dev/sd* or anything similarly which could look like a blockdevice. Did redhat forget to include usb drivers in their rescue image for Fedora core? I just tried the disk on an other system, with exactly the same problems.

I have now added the LABEL=myroot line to fstab(I guess it have to be uppercase to work) and the harddisk still boot fine when using sata, but it still can't boot using usb. I begin to guess that redhat forgot some usb drivers In fedora Core 13, because the system can't see the harddisk when booting the dvd and entering rescue mode. blkid don't show any harddisks at all and there are no block devices in /dev/ which might be my usb disk. Is it possible to find the uuid of partitions if id add the usb harddisk to a windows computer, and more important: will this be the same uuid as linux will se.

Ubuntu :: SATA II / Error "ata4: Limiting SATA Link Speed To 1.5 Gbps" - Allowing The SSD To Run At SATA II Speeds?

May 1, 2011

I 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")

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Partition Sata Disk

Nov 26, 2010

I'm trying to install 10.10 on a sata disk. In terminal, dmesg recognizes the disk at /dev/sda. The installer recognizes it as well, but the partition area is blank and the option are greyed out. How can I go on? BTW, on the disk currently Fedora 14 is (fresh) installed and working fine, but a software install script is written specifically for Ubuntu. That's why I need to change to Ubuntu and it's no hardware problem.

Hardware :: Change LVM Disk Sata Port?

Oct 18, 2010

I have Linux system with 6x500 GB sata drives on LVM. I want to change 1 of the disks with larger - 1 TB. I don't have available free sata ports, so I'll add pcie sata controller. I'll add the 1 TB disk to the pcie controller and will use "pvmove" to transfer the PEs from one of the 500 GB drives to the new 1 TB. Then I want to remove the 500 GB disk from the LVM. I want to remove the physical disk from the box and to place the 1 TB disk on its place. But I don't know if the LVM will recognize the disk? I want to remove the pcie controller from the box because the motherboards sata controller is better.

Hardware :: Cannot Boot From SATA Disk - Timeout 10

I have a problem to boot from a SATA disk. The filesystem image was created by our customer and copied to the SATA disk. It is SLES 10.2. When booting, "waiting for /dev/sda2 to appear" appears.

When i access to the disk, i always have the error:

In the dmesg there is no particular message.

Fedora Hardware :: New SATA Hard Disk Not Being Detected

Feb 8, 2011

All of my computers are second-hand (except 1 laptop but it doesn't count) and I see in my Dell 4600 there are 2 SATA connectors on the motherboard. I picked up a 250 GB SATA hard disk and cables recently and tried plugging it in but the system doesn't see it. I even disconnected all other disks to make sure there wasn't a conflict (master/slave) issue going on but the system still does not see it.

The disk is vibrating so I assume it is getting juice and is spinning. Is there a setting or something I have to do to tell the system to access the SATA? Do I have to look at RAID settings if there is only 1 SATA disk? Can I not have a SATA disk and an ATA disk plugged in at the same time? I want to try and determine if the disk is bad, or is it PEBKAC!

Debian :: Internal SATA Disk Slower When Running On Battery?

Feb 5, 2010

I have Etch running in my laptop. I found that if the laptop is only running on battery, the disk seems to performs slower than if I running on a power adapter. How do I possibly check the setting and fix it?

I'm the only user on the system most of the time and I keep it as minimal as possible so it's not other services and programs keeping the disk busy.

Debian Hardware :: Sdparm Not Stopping SATA Disk In Squeeze

It worked well in Lenny, but it doesn't work in Squeeze:

/dev/sdb: ATA       WDC WD2500AAJS-2  01.0

All I can hear is a click indicating drive head movement but the disk keeps spinning.

Ubuntu Installation :: ASUS A8V-MX Recognises SATA Hard Disk?

Aug 11, 2010

This is a solution to a problem that has bugged me for months but I finally got around to solving.I hope this will be useful to anyone using Ubuntu with GRUB2 who has the same problem.I am running Ubuntu 10.4 Lynx which did not recognise the newly-installed SATA HDD.In fact, booting up would face me with a recovery shell.The solution is to add the pci=nomsi kernel parameterTo do this you need to edit the /etc/default/grub file and add the kernel parameter as follows:

Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="pci=nomsi"

Hardware :: How To Move Boot Sector From SCSI To SATA Disk

Jul 5, 2010

I have three disk in my system. One SATA (250GB) and two SCSI (73GB) disks. The Two SCSI disks were installed originally and RHEL3 is installed on it. The SATA disk is installed a few years later with RHEL5. As you can see below, the boot sector is still on one of the SCSI disks (sdb1).

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 236545184 15259760 209075624 7% /
/dev/sdc2 68539636 4578792 60479160 8% /users
/dev/sdb1 101089 26847 69023 29% /boot
/dev/sdb3 68437272 36963704 27997104 57% /RHEL3U7
tmpfs 2025916 652 2025264 1% /dev/shm

How I can move the boot sector from the SCSI disk (sdb) to the SATA disk (sda) without losing data and without re-installation?

Fedora Installation :: 11 Installer Doesn't Detect Seagate Sata Disk

Jul 8, 2009

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?
