Please see following lspci: /sbin/lspci | grep AHCI 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Unknown device 0121 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 58 I/O ports at 1c00 [size=8] I/O ports at 18d4 [size=4] I/O ports at 18d8 [size=8] I/O ports at 18d0 [size=4] I/O ports at 18e0 [size=32] Memory at f0704000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: [80] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit- Queue=0/2 Enable+ Capabilities: [70] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [a8] #12 [0010] >>> I added a line of "/dev/sda6 /hom/project/work ext3 >>> defaults,noauto,user=project 0 0" to the fstab, but it was actually >>> not working, there was an error of "bad line in fstab" during boot >>> (the user is project).

Not sure above indicated 1 SATA device? Was the error of the "/dev/sda6 /hom/project/work ext3 defaults,noauto,user=project 0 0" syntax error, or the /dev/sda6 of 1 SATA device? Thank you.
