Thread: Another SATA Thread


hi forum!

ok, i've got little problem. 'assembled' new computer yesterday , first thoughts install lucid on it. have on both old desktop & laptop (installed usb).
new machine wouldn't let me boot usb (mobo didn't want me to/let me) made cd , booted/installed that.

everything's great, ran , after nvidia drivers gpu came alive!
i'm testing of basics out , 1 , (so far) problem 10.04 .
i'm running both hdd && dvd rw on sata (via mobo).

hdd great.
dvd rw mounts media, including cd's , dvd's
when play cd (in vlc or rhythmbox), consistent pause every 2 or seconds in playback. tried playing dvd , got i/o error (in totem).

(note: installed os dvd drive, works)

thinking dma, apparently doesn't/shouldn't apply sata.
hdparm doesn't allow changing of value.

both sata devices on 'master' channel (3 & 2 respectively).
bios doesn't allow heaps of changes:
gigabyte ma78lmt-s2 (revision 1.3, bios f 8 {possible upgrade f9}
enable onboard sata controller <yes>
options sata [native ide, raid, ahci] <native ide>

still reading, using samsung sh-s233c, labeled under tsst (brand).
running firmware sb02 {upgrade unknown}

have researched thoroughly.
problems other sata devices hdd's, bios-related (incorrectly set-up) or optical drive not mount disc.

1 solution use libata boot command line arguments (not sure if i've tried correctly, not used grub2).
edit modules (/etc/modules), , add lines;

pata_atiixp
blacklist ata_generic

or

amd74xx

, running update-initramfs -u

edit fstab (/etc/fstab).

ohh, , i've played around heaps codecs , etc (hoping) may strangely interconnected.

in conclusion, drive kinda works. it's not @ functional level of operation.
left-field thoughts, or if voice of experience speak, appreciated!

thanks.

and here's excess information curious:
