LooZypher Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi Guys. I've just added an IOCrest IO-PCE9215-4I SATA controller to my unraid box. I ordered this on the backround of the hardware compatability page found here. But my 3TB WD red drive isn't recognised, it spins up, but doesn't show on either "main" menu or dashboard. The documentation states that "Linux distributions with kernel version 2.6.19 and above include inbox drivers for IDE/ATA device" (attached). I have had the drive connected via the primary sata controller onboard and there it shows, I have used another sata cable from the secondary pci-e satacontroller to the drive, still nothing. Does any of you have a suggestion? Best regards LooZypher Marvell_92xx_Installation_Linux.txt Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Does the card recognize the drive itself (do you see it when the BIOS is doing its checks)? Post your diagnostics Quote Link to comment
LooZypher Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thank you for the swift reply. The odd thing is that none of my drives are being shown in the POST (Picture attached) from here it just jumps to the unRaid boot screen. I've just updated the BIOS on my motherboard, still no luck. Next step I'll check if the sata controller is detectable in another system !UPDATE! SATA controller is DOA, it didn't show on my other system aswell. Quote Link to comment
LooZypher Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 It turned out it was a bad card. Got a new one from Amazon, installed it, and no problems ;D Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm going to go ahead and mark this SOLVED. If it isn't please feel free to change the title in your first post. Quote Link to comment
