hard disk drive not recognised

Description

I cannot install haiku on my laptop because its hard drive is not recognised (not listed in the partitioner at installation time). I don't know the exact reference of my hard disk. I use an MSI CR630. lspci gives me "00:11.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [AHCI mode]"

Please include your syslog.

Please run lspci -nn and include the entire output so we can determine what deviceids are involved.

Alternatively, you can use listdev from Haiku itself (boot to a desktop and launch Terminal).

And as diver suggested, a syslog from the boot would be appropriate if you can provide it.

Perhaps this page will help: http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/ReportingBugs#HardwareIssues

My disk has been recognised a few moment ago, but I had to resize a partition before installing it. I used gparted via ubuntu 12.04 live-CD. After than, Haiku did not recognise my hard disk anymore…

Replying to frizer23:

My disk has been recognised a few moment ago, but I had to resize a partition before installing it. I used gparted via ubuntu 12.04 live-CD. After than, Haiku did not recognise my hard disk anymore…

So, it was working, then you used an Ubuntu Live CD to resize partitions, and now it doesn't? That shouldn't affect Haiku's ability to locate the disk attached to the AHCI controller.

The syslog seems to indicate that the only drive found was your CD/DVD drive which has an iso9660 filesystem (you must be booting Haiku from CD with ISO image burned on it).

Not sure why the driver is having trouble locating the disk, especially if it worked before. I assume you have tried booting several times now? Perhaps you could try using a USB stick with the Anyboot image to see if that changes anything?

Everytime I tried to boot from the CD drive, Haiku failed to find the disk. When I try to boot from my USB stick, I get the message "system loading" just before it reboots. I followed the steps described here : https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/installing/making_haiku_usb_stick. md5sum is correct.

test different USB port. I have 3 and it's only the USB3 that I can boot from and only my USB CD drive.

Seems the device on port 0 isn't recognized.

KERN: ahci: AHCIPort::PostReset port 0
KERN: ahci: device signature 0xffffffff (unknown)

Do you know what brand and model is the disk connected to the first port?

comment:8 by frizer23, 12 years ago

no, as I already said. Sorry. How could I know that (without opening my laptop)?

comment:9 by anevilyak, 12 years ago

That information might be available in linux's dmesg on boot.

Just a guess, adding support for initial spin up might be needed if the drive starts up in standby mode. FreeBSD 203421 or from Linux

Is it still reproducible?
