The DVD drive that I had in my little server died and I need to replace it. The drive was a ATA drive, Plextor PX-708A and the new one is a SATA, ASUS DRW-24B3ST. I could not find an ATA drive so that is why the SATA device. The problem is the new drive is not recognized during the boot process. The POST finds the drive and I see it in the BIOS setup screens. The drive works well in a Windows machine and the drive from the Windows machine, Plextor PX-B320sA also will not be recognized. The motherboard is an Abit KN8 Ultra and has never had a problem. Here is the system;
Looking at the DMESG I find only these drives at boot time
Here is thefstab for examination if need be.
I have not been able to find anything that would help with searching the post here and on other areas. If anybody gas any idea what is happening and how to fix it I would be very grateful. I know that there other people out there much wiser than me.
Thanks!
Keith
