On a Gigabyte K8NS mobo, I have three Seagate 200GB SATA drives on a Silicon Image 3512 SATA Controller. One of them works great. From dmesg it looks like the other two don't get detected. This is on kernel.org's 2.6.12-rc1 amd64 -- I get the same results on Debian's 2.6.8-10-amd64-k8. libata

Hi Chris, To try to isolate the problem (I have no clue and others may have better suggestions), I would start just X, without running a desktop manager. Just type X at the command prompt -- that is to say, don't run gdm at boot, or kill it and log in without running X-windows, then type X.

Hi Ozz, Just a brief suggestion -- you do of course need to load the module first. Adding it to /etc/modules just tells the OS to load it on boot -- it won't load it while you're up and running just by listing it there. modconf is one way to load modules, and the fact that you don't see it in
