Ubuntu :: Booting The USB2 And E-SATA?

Mar 20, 2010

I've been using a 2GB flash drive with Ubuntu on it for the last few weeks, instead of a full install as my main laptop is down with hardware failure. I'm finding that it works so well, that I'm tempted to go this way permanently. I really like having the same setup on whatever machine I happen to be using. Anyway, If I was to do this I'd need a drive with more space and I've come across portable SSD drives that support connections over both USB & E-Sata.

If I had Ubuntu installed on such a drive would it be able to boot over both kinds of connections or would I be limited to whatever connection I did the install over? My work laptop supports e-sata, so I'd like to use that mainly but I would like to be able to use USB when e-sata isn't available.

Ubuntu Installation :: Multi-Booting - CD Drive - Also SATA - No Longer Shows Up

Apr 16, 2010

I decided to install the Ubuntu Netbook remix (9.10, I believe) on this extra IDE hard drive I had (my other three hard drives are SATA.) My primary hard drive contains a Windows XP, my second contains Windows 7, and my third SATA drive is just NTFS-formatted storage. I went through the installer and choose to format and install on my 40GB IDE hard drive, which it did. Then it finished and rebooted. It apparently decided to install the GRUB bootloader onto the primary hard drive (not the one it was installed on,) which was not my intention. The bootloader froze the boot of my computer and wouldn't work. (Stuck at loading GRUB.) I couldn't even get to the BIOS. So I pulled the plug on the primary hard drive and tried to boot again. I could get into Windows 7 just fine, but that was it. The problem, though, is that the CD drive (also SATA) no longer shows up in My Computer. Also, after changing the boot order and replugging in the former primary hard drive, it wouldn't show up, either. Nor would the IDE one (though I'm pretty sure that's because Windows doesn't understand the EXT (or whatever Ubuntu uses) file system.

Does anyone know why this occurred and how to get those drives to show up in Windows again? I don't really care to get the netbook remix working here, since this isn't even a laptop, it was just an experiment. Also, I'd love to know how to remove GRUB from my primary hard disk so that I can boot from it again.

Ubuntu Installation :: Dual Booting Windows (Vista Or Win7) 9.10 From Same SATA Drive?

Mar 2, 2010

I can dual-boot on my PC by using my SATA drive for Windows & a second IDE (PATA) one for Ubuntu.However when I try to install both OS's on the Primary SATA drive side by side only one is detected (and I have no option to boot the other).

I have a friend with the same problem who is trying to boot Win7 and Ubuntu off the same SATA drive and the same issue occurs on his (He doesn't have the second drive as an option as I do).

Does anyone know a way to get side by side installation to work on one (SATA) drive? Failing this is it possible to boot Ubuntu off and External hard drive and still be able to dual boot Windows & Ubuntu?

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 :: SATA Libata Verses Silicom Images SATA Module

Jun 21, 2010

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.

My usb stick with Debian only loads from the usb hub it's crazy. I just tried putting the usb stick onto a usb3 port in my desktop and also on a usb2 port even the one where the usb hub is connected to and it wont' load!. Same initramfs prompt happens as when connected on the laptop usb ports.

the usb hub has usb2 speeds so is not that the stick is under usb1.1 emulation.

Debian Hardware :: USB Mouse Working With USB3 But Not With USB2

Aug 1, 2014

I have Debian Jessie (testing) with a custom kernel 3.15.7 installed on an Acer Aspire V5-123 netbook which has 2 USB2, and 1 USB3 ports. The problem is that my A4 tech usb mouse is only detected when I connect it to the USB3 port!

Here is the dmesg output after I plug the mouse to the USB3 port:

Code: Select all[  844.152073] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=09da, idProduct=000a
[  844.152089] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[  844.152098] usb 1-1: Product: USB Mouse
[  844.152106] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: A4Tech

[Code] ....

and the lsusb output:

Code: Select allBus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f2:b3f6 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

But, if I plug the mouse to one of my USB2 ports, I get the following output from lsusb regardless of having or not having my mouse connected:

Code: Select allBus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

And finally, the modules loaded:

Code: Select alllsmod | grep usb

usb_common             12440  1 usbcore

Apparently, people have had similar problems in Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, ..., but, I did not find a unique fix.

Fedora :: USB3.0 Drive Slow On USB2 Port?

Apr 8, 2011

I bought a Thoshiba StorE art 3 1TB external hard drive yesterday and I had to clear off a lot of data from my vaio to the ext drive. But I am facing an acute problem in the data transfer and write speed. The drive is USB 3.0 and my usb ports are

Code:
lspci|grep -i usb
00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 05)
I am running on fedora 13 with

Code:
uname -r
2.6.34.8-68.fc13.x86_64

When I try to transfer a big chunk file, the speed I get is 1.7MB/s. I have tried in my other boot windows and had 56MB/s

The second doubt is, I have formatted the whole disk as a single partition of 930GB(NTFS). Do I have to partition into smaller parts for efficiency ?

Debian Configuration :: 8.2 - Getting External USB2/3 HDDs To Automount / Autounmount

Dec 10, 2015

I'm running Debian 8.2 and trying to set up so I can plug in a couple of external hard drives that will be used to sync data between systems using rsync.

I've got the rsync bit working how I want, thats not a issue. But what I can't seem to get to work properly is when I plug the devices in, they don't mount automatically.

I've tried various methods to no avail so far, systemd.automount in fstab doesn't seem to want to work, for some reason it gives a I/O error. I've tried setting up udev rules and they don't work either, so I'm a bit of a loss now.

Not sure what info to provide that would be relevant at this time, but can add logs as required easy enough.

This machine is headless, so command line only suggestions would be best. I can access X via the network if I have to, but I'd rather do it by cli for ease of access.

My fstab file

Code: Select all# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=9b4e9dae-ea53-439a-a7fe-87c371c03803 /        xfs     defaults        0       1
# /home was on /dev/sda9 during installation

Fedora Hardware :: System Uses Uhci_hcd Instead Of Ehci_hcd On USB2 Ports

Jan 14, 2011

I have 8 x USB2 ports on my computer. I know this from personal experience, Windows write speeds, and the spec sheet for my motherboard. I get USB2 write speeds in windows, however when in F14 I get an average of 1.5mb/s, which is USB1.1 speed. When I run lsusb it shows 2 x USB 2.0 and 6 x USB 1.1. /proc/bus/usb/devices shows 2 ports using ehci_hcd (480speed), and 6 using uhci_hcd (12speed).

modprobe -r ehci_hcd (or uhci_hcd) fails with "FATAL: Module ehci_hcd is builtin"
rmmod ehci_hcd (or uhci_hcd) fails with "ERROR: Module ehci_hcd does not exist in /proc/modules"

1) Why are 6 ports being identified as USB 1.1

2) How to I get them to use ehci_hcd and return to USB2.0 speeds?

General :: Cannot Copy File To USB2 External Hard Disk

Jan 25, 2010

I plan to reformat & reinstall my linux (centos).Before doing this, I got to backup my files into my USB external hard disk from Seagate (FreeAgent). The problem I faced is that I could not copy file into the hard disk even I was in root user. It prompted me that it is only read-only. I just wonder why.I have tested with my thumb drive. It worked. May I know why I could not copy file to the USB FreeAgent hard disk. Due to file system?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Ehci_hcd Fatal Error With USB2.0 Hard Drives

May 30, 2011

I'm getting failures of ehci_hcd at random times when trying to copy files between USB2 hard disks on my new installation of OpenSUSE 11.4 on my new i7 machine. Kernel version is 2.6.37-0.5-desktop, x86_64. The error is very repeatable but happens at random times, not associated with any particular disk sector or file etc.It's becoming very annoying as it is causing files on my drives to become corrupted if they are open when the error occurs.

I have two USB2 hard drives plugged in, and I'm trying to copy files from one to the other either via terminal or nautilus. The symptom of the failure is that all USB devices on the root hub of those drives will suddenly disappear in the middle of a file transfer. This includes the KB & mouse , so I lose every USB device on the same root hub at once.

If the keyboard is on a separate root hub I can retain control of the PC. In this case, lsusb shows that the root hub to which the drives were connected has vanished - not just the drive itself. The whole root hub is gone. I have confirmed that it is NOT a problem with the drives themselves, because

(a) I have tried many different drives, of different brands, and they all do it,

(b) all my drives work flawlessly under Windows 7 and

(c) this never happened under my old OpenSUSE 11.2 on my old x86_64 core2 duo PC with the same hard drives.

They are all NTFS formatted and I use NTFS-3g to write to them. I don't have a choice about the NTFS, since they bring data from other Windows PCs. I'd much prefer to be on ext3, but what can you do. The root cause of the problem is that the ehci_hcd module is failing at a low level. It's not the NTFS-3g driver, by the looks of things. I have no idea how to fix this. I don't think it's a problem with my USB2 drives going to sleep mode because it happens in the middle of a file copy operation!

/var/log/messages output follows... /var/log/messages shows these kinds of errors at the leadup to a failure. Nothing suspicious appears until we suddenly see this:

kernel: [ 505.042722] hub 1-1:1.0: cannot reset port 3 (err = -110)
... same message repeated 4 times ...
kernel: [ 509.075401] hub 1-1:1.0: Cannot enable port 3. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
kernel: [ 509.083593] hub 1-1:1.0 cannot disable port 3 (err = -110)

[code].....

NTFS-3g then unmounts ALL the drives on that root hub and everything falls in a heap as all I/O operations and every device on that hub fails in sequence.

Hardware :: PATA Socket Was Replaced With SATA Socket / Transfer Rate Of The Harddisk Would Be SATA Transfer Rate?

Jul 4, 2010

My friend bought an old hard drive. He noticed something with the hard drive that it was just replaced with a SATA socket. So meaning, the SATA socket was soldered to the PATA hard disk to replace the PATA socket to SATA socket to make it a SATA.

Now the question is:

1. Does the Transfer Rate of the harddisk (that has been replaced from PATA socket to SATA socket) would be SATA transfer rate? OR would still be PATA transfer rate?

Ubuntu :: Booting After Installation (Dual Booting With Vista) - Error: No Such Devide Found

Jun 24, 2010

i decided to install ubuntu in my PC,i downloaded the .ISO image and i installed it in my USB. After trying it and all that i observed that i really liked it and i decided to formally install it to my computer in the hard drive. When i reached the partition thing,i selected to dual boot with Vista and select between each them in every startup,when i clicked FORWARD it gave me an error which i did not read(because,again im a noob) so i clicked cancel.

Today i wanted to go through the process again and now really install it,so again i went to the time zone part and i clicked forward but then,instead of taking me straight to the partition phase,it appeard a window saying "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda ...." I clicked yes,to unmount this partitions so it took me to the partition thing,once there i selected the option to install Ubuntu with Vista and select between them i neach startup,then i clicked forward and went to the username/computer name process,once i finished i continued to the next part,the installation,but i selected to import all of my WIndows VIsta default user data,after that i clicked forward and went to the installation process,i went down stairs to eat soemthing while it finishes,i came back and it was finished,it asked me to reboot so i clicked in Restart Now.

When it tried to boot,appeared an error saying: Error: no such devide found: #################### Grub load(or something like that) grub rescue: and it was a command line,since there i havent been able to boot into vista or Ubuntu,im really scared because is the first thing related to OS installing ive done,so i booted my USB and ran the trial and right now im trying to find out what to do from that trial version.
I just went to the INSTALL UBUNTU 10.04 LTS application under the System>Administration Menu and found out that in the partition phase the Install and allow to select between both systems in eahc startup option,i dont know what to do,i foudn out that my HD has still all its data(MUsic/Videos/Folders/Programs/ect.)its just that i cannot boot from it. Also in GParted it appears as /dev/sda1/ and a warning icon besides it,also when i go into information, thers this warning there [URL]

Ubuntu :: Slow Booting Of BIOS When Booting?

I've been searching the forums for any posts that cover my problem, but most of the booting problems I've found are different from mine.Anywho, the situation:ell laptop, 2 partitions, first is Windows XP, second is Ubuntu Karmic.Whenever I turn on my computer the first loading screen that shows up (is this the BIOS? Excuse my little knowledge of this stuff), before GRUB loads, is really slow. It takes about a minute to load.However, whenever I restart from my XP partition, it suddenly loads fast! And this does not happen when restarting from my Ubuntu partition or anything
