I'm trying to find out if there is some documentation on a reported bug in
kernel 2.6.14-5 such that it cannot 'see' a sdb drive. This only occurs
with certain Intel motherboard chip sets and SATA drives. Does anyone have
any info on this?
Thanks,
Al

Maybe you don't have the proper driver? And a 'sdb' drive
is nothing special, but the second drive on a SATA channel.
Does it see 'sda' ?

I'm using the latest release of Kanotix (2005-04). This is a liveCD and it
sees sda just fine. However it does NT see sdb. I'm told by the Kanotix
folks that his is a bug in 2.6.14.5 when used with certain Intel chipsets
and SATA drives.

My bet is that it is a udev problem but I'm not experienced to really know
for sure.

Has anyone had a problem with this kernel version and Intel 810 boards and
SATA drives?
