I'd hope that my shiney new motherboard which I got a week ago came with a shiney new IDE controller.Michael Mortimore wrote:Apart from ditching the drive, I'm out of ideas what to do. Anyone seen this before?No but I've heard of similar, the disk is too big for older IDE support, so everything needs to be shiny and new.
There is a newer version: 1.60. the comment is "update cpu code" which doesn't seem to me like it would help.Check for BIOS updates from the motherboard manufacturer.
Most of the disk information can be found from "hdparm -I /device", post that.
See the end of the email since it's huge.
What does the kernel log during boot regarding this device?

I put it back into the machine i stole it from and it's not detected at all, in neither in the on board ports nor the controller card. Note though that i was having trouble with it before, which is why I got the new one. I put the 40gig drive back into the old comp and that boots up fine, so at least it seems that the ide controllers on the old one are still good. I also tried the 250gig drive in a USB caddy and it was detected fine and it booted up fine up until it kernel panicced from not being able to find the root partition. (I think I compiled usb mass storage as a module). All this happened at a normal speed.Can you try the disk in another machine to establish if the problem follows the disk or is just this machine?
Can you find: motherboard make, model, and BIOS revision.
