fjf Posted June 14, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Trying to make DSM 6.0 see a 5th drive on my HP n54l; it has been working with 4 drives with no problems. Already tried sataportmap=42 on grub.cfg with no success. Anyone got it working?. How?. Edited June 14, 2017 by fjf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack78 Posted June 14, 2017 Share #2 Posted June 14, 2017 You need modified BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjf Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted June 15, 2017 I know, and it is already done. But the 5th drive is not seen by DSM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted June 15, 2017 Share #4 Posted June 15, 2017 Do you see the disk in your BIOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjf Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted June 15, 2017 That was the problem!. The disk was not in AHCI mode. Fixed now, it is seen by DSM. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davdi1982 Posted July 16, 2017 Share #6 Posted July 16, 2017 Hi, I have the same issue, my disk is visible on the bios but not by the dsm. I did you active the AHCI mode (I dont know if this is my problem). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjf Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Yes, I did that, and used sataportmap=42 in grub.cfg More info: http://blog.chrispomfret.com/2013/07/31/allow-hot-plug-sata-and-5th-sata-port-full-speed-on-hp-n54l-proliant-microserver/ Edited July 16, 2017 by fjf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that grub.cfg was only use during the first install on during a boot, it is always used? edit: I have created a post for my probleme (HERE) David Edited July 17, 2017 by davdi1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearcat Posted March 24, 2021 Share #11 Posted March 24, 2021 @jose carlos If you are using DSM 6.x all drives need to be set up as AHCI. To do this, you need a modified BIOS. I prefer "TheBay" You can see some screenshots here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
