Howdy all,
I have a problem with my Promise SATAII150 TX4 card with 4 SATA WD 250GB HDs (just bought). I'm running FC2 with 2.6.8-1 kernel. When I boot up the computer, I see a message from the card saying that it detected the 4 HDs, the CMOS settings see the card, and when I try to install WinXP and load the 3rd party driver (that came on the diskette), the installer sees all 4 SATA HDs.
BUT, when I do a 'modprobe sata_promise' while in FC2, the new devices do not show up. I am supposed to get /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, and so on correct?
I have sata_promise, libata, scsi_mod, and sg modules loaded into the kernel.
'fdisk -l' also yields no results.
I also checked the /proc/scsi/scsi file and I see 'Attached devices:' and nothing else.
'lspci' gives me "02:08.0 Unknown mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc.: Unknown device 3d18 (rev 02)" for my Promise SATAII150 TX4 card.
/proc/pci:
Bus 2, device 8, function 0:
Class 0180: PCI device 105a:3d18 (rev 2).
IRQ 10.
Master Capable. Latency=72. Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=18.
I/O at 0xec80 [0xecff].
I/O at 0xe800 [0xe8ff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xff1ff000 [0xff1fffff]
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xff1c0000 [0xff1dffff].
If someone has a solution this problem please share! I would really appreciate it.
Or else, I may be forced to install WinXP -- and I don't wanna do that! (><)
Thanks,
Fuzz
