HDD not showing suddenly, when using the Zen kernel

Hello everyone,

I have both HDD and SSD on my machine. I have Arch with zen kernel on my SSD. And HDD still contains my old windows partitions (NTFS). This problem occurs only when I use the zen kernel, not when I use the vanilla kernel. When using the zen kernel after some time, the HDD just get disappears. I've reinstalled Arch 2 times before to fix this issue. Now I just want to find out the reason and get it fixed.

Here is the output of

lsblk

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda      8:0    0 111.8G  0 disk
├─sda1   8:1    0   500M  0 part /boot
├─sda2   8:2    0    60G  0 part /
└─sda3   8:3    0  51.3G  0 part /home

and

uname -r

5.17.4-zen1-1-zen

Please help me to fix this. Thank you.

Re: HDD not showing suddenly, when using the Zen kernel

How long does it take for the HDD to disappear? Is it mounted when it disappears? Does it show up with commands like `lsblk` or `sudo blkid`?

Could it be ejecting the HDD? What software are you using as a desktop environment and file manager?

The only issues I've ever had with hard drives not showing up is when for some reason they are "ejected" and I have to unplug them and plug them back in again (but that shouldn't be happening with an internal hard drive) or the system updates and doesn't like new devices to be plugged in for some reason having to do with kernel modules updating.

Re: HDD not showing suddenly, when using the Zen kernel

Here is the output of

Which doesn't include any references to the missing HDD at all?

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

after the HDD "disappeared".
