No change and no messages at all. Here's what I did: turn off the
external disk (which was recognized), watch the ata & sd messages in
/var/log/messages about the disk no longer being there, wait a minute,
remove eSATA cable, wait a minute, plug eSATA cable back in. Nothing.
Powering the external disk up also does not make a difference.
In the mean time, I have a similar issue, and will try powering up
the
system with the RAID already up and see if it solves one of _my_
problems, the eSATA box works with some boxen and not other, so I will
try all states of power on, off, cable connected, and see what it
yields. I thought the cheap ATOM system just had an unsupported chip for
the connect.
Good luck. Hope you find a way to make it work.
