Bug 107291 – livecd ide I/O ressource not free hard drive unrecognized

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Frederic Blain 2005-09-26 08:20:56 UTC]

I'm trying to install Gentoo 2005.1 universal on a Toshiba M40-244 laptop.
Unfortunatly, I can't see my hard drive (/dev/hda) after booting with the CD.

During the boot, I've got the folowing message :
Sep 26 13:18:47 livecd ide0: I/O ressource 0x1F0-0x1F7 not free.
Sep 26 13:18:47 livecd ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe

Then, according from /proc/ioports :
...
00f0-00ff : fpu
0170-0177 : ide1
01f0-01f7 : libata     <- Arg :/
0376-0376 : ide1
...

When I boot from other livecd (like System Rescue CD), there is no problem.





Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot with the 2005.1 livecd installation on Toshiba M40-244


Actual Results:  
none hard drive available

Expected Results:  
/dev/hda should be present

You do know that all of the sata stuff shows up as SCSI devices on our release
media, right?

Try looking for /dev/sda and REOPEN this if that didn't resolve this for you.
