[SOLVED] System stopped seeing my second HDD

Today after system upgrade and reboot my Arch stopped seeing my second HDD (it doesn't appear in /dev )

Disk: WD3200AAJS
dmesg:

# dmesg | grep ata1.01
[    0.727453] ata1.01: ATA-7: WDC WD3200AAJS-00RYA0, 12.01B01, max UDMA/133
[    0.727458] ata1.01: 625142448 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32)
[    0.728464] ata1.01: no PIO support
[    5.879153] ata1.01: no PIO support
[    5.879155] ata1.01: disabled

Disk is still accessible by Windows(which boots from it) so it can't be broken(or can?)...

Re: [SOLVED] System stopped seeing my second HDD

Your disk is SATA or PATA? Internal or External? Do you have SATA Mode in bios in compatibility mode or AHCI?

Re: [SOLVED] System stopped seeing my second HDD

Disk is SATA and internal.
In BIOS I have found such options:
ATA/IDE mode set as Native
Storage Controller set as IDE (the second option to choose is AHCI)

Arch kernel doesn't have support for IDE devices anymore, you should select AHCI. The problem is that if you installed "Windows" with the controller as IDE then it will seace to work when you select AHCI.

For what i've read arround here, there is a workarround for IDE devices, but i don't know if it works anylonger:

pcie_aspm=force

If AHCI is the case, i did this on my Win7 system some month ago or so to be prepared (and it worked here atleast)

Just remember to set AHCI mode in BIOS, after changing it in Win.

OK, switching to AHCI helped, thanks
