Hi Andree.
I ran mondoarcive with the latest stock version of debian 2.6.16-smp (I
think
that it is 2.6.16-2-686-smp) and it still persisted in detecting my SATA
drives as IDEs.
Attached is a tarball containing various useful files that should help
you
further diagnose the problem. The information includes:
-- the results of running fdisk -l on both /dev/hda and /dev/sda
-- a copy of /var/log/messages
-- a copy of /var/log/mondo-archive.log
-- the result of running 'uname -r'
-- a copy of the bootup messages (dmesg)
The information is separated into to different folders: the information for
Mondo and the information for my system (running 2.6.17, though the results
shouldn't vary too greatly for any 2.6.17 kernel).
