I am trying to get esata working. my lspci is below.
When I plug in the disk an turn it on - dmesg reports nothing. Is it supposed to report anything like a usb disk does?
Is there a module to load?
My motherboard is GA-MA78GM-US2H.

Trying to get my esata working...
I ubuntu thread talked about a command scsiadd?
yum provides "*/scsiadd" did not result in anything.
The esata is on the motherboard.
Is there something special I have to do to get esata to come alive? dmesg does not report anything when I turn on my disk.
Thanks,
Jerry

I guess if your eSATA drive also has a USB interface, then try that and see if at least the drive can be seen. Although, just because a drive can be seen over USB, doesn't mean that the drive will be seen over the eSATA port ...

James,
In fact it does work under USB. Was hoping to get esata working for extra speed.
I tried rebooting with everything attached and that did not help either. Anything else to try?

Try another make of drive?
As I mentioned previously, we've found some makes of eSATA drives are not 'seen' ... I have no idea if this is a problem with SATA on the host, drive or at the OS level.
