"/*The next booting is completed*/"

What exactly does this mean? Does it stop at "Booting from /dev/hdb..."? Or continue?

Hi Patrick,

/*The next booting is completed*/ it means that:

Booting from /dev/hdb...
Mounting root file system...
INIT: version 2.86 booting

Creating ramdisk for: /TMP, /ETC, /ROOT, /VAR, Success
Mounting ramdisk on:......................................, Success
Copying files to:............................................., Suceess

/*Next I set keyboard map, video color depth, video resolution.
/*When Gnome UI appears, in the left down corner there is message: Not devices detected. Of course I cannot see any partition.

Re: Device not detected

I know this seems stupid but go ahead and load "all" the sata modules in the gparted boot menu. You know what I mean? When you do a lsmod look and see what ones are "Used by".

I have tried this approach and it did nothing for me....

I seem to be having the same problem as the original poster of this string.

I am running (well not at the moment!!!) an IBM Thinkpad S30 43J with an Intel 82440MX chipset including a 82440MX EIDE controller...not sure what that means....but...

Re: Device not detected

Hi!

I tried everything but without success. I gave up, but I think that this is NVidia & Silicon Image incompabilities (fault), next time I will go back to Intel. In many posts on nvidiaforcers and Polish Linux forums many people have had some problems with this chip.

I will follow new version GParted - GREAT JOB!
