[9fans] invisible hdd

[Sergey Reva]

Hello Fans,

I have 2 hdd, SAMSUNG SP1213N (40Gb) and SAMSUNG SV4012H (120Gb)

when I boot from Plan 9 cd with 120Gb hdd work fine
when I boot from Plan 9 cd with 40Gb hdd it's does not see them
(BIOS recognize it correct, WinXP and Linux (Mandrake Move RE) also work with it)
when I boot from Plan 9 cd with both drives I see both drives!

I try different version of Plan 9 which I have, result the same
Also I try move drive to Master/Slave/Cable select modes...

Less than month ago I have only 40Gb drive, and Plan 9 worked with it fine

This I can get when plug both drives:

inquiry SAMSUNG SV4012H
config 045A capabilities 2B00 dma 00000004 dmactl 00000000 rwm 16 rwmctl 0
geometry 78242976 512 16383 16 63
part data 0 78242976

inquiry SAMSUNG SP1213N
config 045A capabilities 2F00 dma 00550020 dmactl 00000000 rwm 16 rwmctl 0 lba48always off
geometry 234493056 512 65535 1 63
part data 0 234493056
part ntfs 63 12289725
part ntfs1 12289788 43022070
part dos 43022133 53271540
part ntfs2 53271603 234484740 

Does someone can suggest something?

When you have no disk in position 0, Plan 9 doesn't look in position 1.
So if you have sdC1 without sdC0, Plan 9 won't find the disk.

Even at Primary Master

It may be related to the changes we made to support VMware
and QEMU a little better.  Try the kernels in 
9fs sourcesdump
ls /n/sourcesdump/2005/0315/386
and see if your luck changes.

I have much older kernels, and as I say it work in a past...
Just now I test hdd on other system, and system hung while startup in BIOS(!),
this is probably problem in hardware :(
