[solved] ST31000528AS not detected well in linux

SOLUTION :  The issue is with the disc controller (XFX 8200 mobo)...the param is pci=nomsi.  Without pci=nomsi the drive will NEVER be detected.  NEVER EVER.

 

Title says it all.  The boot error is something like "can not IDENTIFY".  I had it working for a while using a special boot param (noapic or something) BUT that setting was lost now I can't use this drive in linux AT ALL.

 

No live cd's ive tried detect it.  The ubuntu install ON THAT DRIVE no longer boots because the boot param has been lost.

 

I've already tried all the bios tricks - they do not apply to this situation.

 

I've tried : 

 

- multiple ubuntu cds

- debian cds

- suse cds

- fedora cds

 

The drive works.  The drive is not bad.  But it doesn't interface well with linux *without* the special boot param that I can not remember.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing that bit of info - I think it will come in handy for me personally, and may come in handy for others no doubt.

A Pentium III, 256MB RAM and 10GB HDD are needed to run Windows XP.
The power of 3 C64 was needed to fly to SPACE.
Something is wrong with our world...
And its called WINDOWS!
