Thanks to Bert and Steven - I will see if I can find a promise or one of the other sata cards and test this. modprobe -l | grep sata /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_qstor.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_vsc.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_via.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_sis.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_inic162x.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_nv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_sil.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_uli.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_promise.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_sx4.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_sil24.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_mv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.23.10-97.fc8.1axp/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_svw.ko Steven Moix wrote: I can't give you a definitive answer, but we know some things: - You can't boot from a SATA card because of the SRM, you'll always need a disk to contain the boot files. - A card which has kernel drivers should work, have a look in /lib/modules/yourkernelversion/kernel/drivers/ata for compiled drivers. You can also look at the /boot/config-yourkernel file under the "SCSI Transports" section for compiled drivers. m means that they are compild as modules, the .ko files. So let us know when you have tried :) On Fri, 2008-07-25 at 09:53 -0400, bob smith wrote:I would like to add some disk drives to a couple of alphas. I am interested in adding SATA drives, the price is right, but am not sure where to look for compatible PCI card sata interfaces. Has any one tried this? does it work with FC8? is there a list of cmpatible cards? thanks bob -- =============================================== Mary, Patty and Lynn are brats, hmmm I know some brats. _______________________________________________ axp-list mailing list axp-list redhat com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/axp-list_______________________________________________ axp-list mailing list axp-list redhat com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/axp-list -- =============================================== Mary, Patty and Lynn are brats, hmmm I know some brats. |
