[SOLVED] SATA not recognised VA-20 Motherboard

[neilneil2000]

I have just installed Mythbuntu 7.10 and during the install process I chose the manual partitioning method and set up the system to install on to an IDE hard drive.

In the partitioning window I could see all my drives (two IDE & two SATA).

The install went without any problems but when I loaded mythbuntu for the first time I noticed that the SATA drives weren't being mounted.

I am very confused!

The output from lsmod | grep sata is:

sata_via 12548 0
libata 125168 2 ata_generic,sata_via

I am using an ASUS VA-20 motherboard.

Please help

Neil

Can you mount them manually? If so, just add them to fstab so they will mount at boot time.

Yeah thanks, I didn't think to try that! I am a bit new to this Linux thing you see!

I have now "fstabbed" them and all is well!

Thanks!
