PATA Problems



Hello,

I have been having a problem with getting access to a drive I
installed. My motherboard is a Asus PC-DL Deluxe and it comes with an
onboard Promise 378 RAID controller. I am not setting it to any RAID
but just using it to connect to additional hard drive.

The drive shows up fine under sda. I was able to partition it with
fdisk:

Disk /dev/sda: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 19929 160079692 83 Linux

And I was successful in mounting it to /mnt/sda1. So I edited the
/etc/fstab file and added:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ext3 defaults
0 0

After I rebooted the drive does not mount and I can not mount it
manually:

$ sudo mount -v /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1/ -t ext3
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

Here is my dmsg:
