Yesterday, we have play around with the bios and don't see anything about Sata tunning, just enabled/disabled the port.

Does you BIOS provide the ability to run the SATA disks in a “legacy” mode, so they look like PATA disks?  If it does, could you try this?

Hi,

 

Many thanks for your help,

 

I see, I share same trouble like Bob ! . I'm at home and can't tell you about device name now.

I have only one disk, SATA attached to the Silicon Controller onboard the S2885 Tyan Motherboard.

I have a cdrom drive too, no floppy drive.

 

Suppose device name is Sda0 like Bob,

You said 2 things :

<< 

Looking again at your question, can you tell me the device name of your
disk?  The name is key to the section of code you're having a problem
with.
>>
            What is the code you tell about ?   tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default ??

And section of code ? : Kernel Section, line DISKORDER = sda0,hd,ccics,rd ???

 

<< 

If the device driver isn't being loaded, then yes, the problem you have shown will occur. Do you know what device will be presented to the system once the driver is loaded?

>> 

Visibly, this is a trouble with the Silicon driver, which is not loaded in the PXE boot time, like BOB story with his MegaIde driver. But I'm a little bit mislayed, because what is the process which must load the driver for the SIL3114 Sata controller in first ? :

 

   - The mini-boot from SystemImager, which as i supposed prepare the install process for the Oscar image (detection, driver loading ...). But in this case, the SystemImager-boot don't integrate the module Sii6514.o for my controller (after verification in my last post). ??

 

  - or the image built from Oscar itself, which integrate the module, with the name SATA_SIL.ko ??

 

I feel I must to play with the SystemImager-boot and make changes in order to integrate the driver. Could you confirm ? In this case, did you have good link, examples, tip to make change with the SystemImager boot ?

 

Many thanks.

Cheers,

 

Jerome Lefevre

Jerome,

If the device driver isn't being loaded, then yes, the problem you have shown will occur.

Do you know what device will be presented to the system once the driver is loaded?
