March 2, 201313 yr I am running 5.0-rc11 Intel d915GAG mobo 3TB WD Red 2TB WD Red When I run dmesg | grep SATA I get Jan 26 11:48:03 Tower kernel: ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x20c8 ctl 0x20ec bmdma 0x20a0 irq 19 Jan 26 11:48:03 Tower kernel: ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x20c0 ctl 0x20e8 bmdma 0x20a8 irq 19 I don't get the "link up" - and they appear to be getting lower speed than SATA 1.5 (which is max the mobo supports). Any thoughts on how to correct? unraid_syslog_20130302_1529.txt
March 2, 201313 yr Author Seems to be working ok - they are preclearing now - perhaps the wiki has just been updated so my older mobo acts differently? Or it is an RC11 difference?
March 2, 201313 yr Seems to be working ok - they are preclearing now - perhaps the wiki has just been updated so my older mobo acts differently? Or it is an RC11 difference? Not too sure about this exact issue, but the wiki is pretty out dated all in all.

If you are asking if different hardware, using different versions of Linux, with different software drivers, will have different messages in its system log? The answer is yes.
March 3, 201313 yr Author Thanks guys - I guess I thought the wiki was the authority. Point taken. Still preclearing, so I guess it's working
March 3, 201313 yr You have IDE emulation turned on for your SATA drives. When you next boot, go into the BIOS settings and look for the SATA mode, and change it to a native SATA mode, preferably AHCI if available, anything but IDE emulation mode. It should be slightly faster, and a little safer. (I suspect your motherboard will not have AHCI available, but it should have a native SATA choice.) Can you point out what you noticed in the wiki should be updated?
March 6, 201313 yr Author Rob - it was already set to Enhanced(Native). I'll be upgrading the mobo eventually, this might be what I'm stuck with for now...?
March 6, 201313 yr Rob - it was already set to Enhanced(Native). Interesting. It really does *look* like IDE emulation. The 2 drives are using ata_piix, and they are on the same ata channel, ata2.00 and ata2.01. I'll keep that in mind, it appears to be a Gateway board that is Intel 915 based.
