Guest maniana Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hi, all! I have an ADB 5800sx nbox receiver. I installed your (ADB5800xx_freebox_OpenPLi_mod_by_tux_live_nand_25_05_2013) software and i have a similar problem like other members here. The Harddisk doesn't show up at all. fdisk -l shows nothing!! so the usual workaround with tunefs doesn't work because the harddisk is not detected at the hardware level. Does anyone know how the hardware detection in this software works? Any hint would be useful. Btw. Before there was openpli 8.0.0 on this hardware and harddisk was working, but unfortunately i have no backup - yes stupid fault of mine :-( cu Karol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pppp Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hi, At the beginning you have to download the latest version of 8.3. I know it looks strange but unfortunatelly the earliest version of 8.3 coming from 25th May had small amount of bugs. So, like I said, download the latest one again. I understand you cannot read our FAQ thread written in polish. http://forum.xunil.pl/index.php/topic,81.0.html Try to use google translator. The most important things are partitions labels. Eg. Partition for movies should be called "data" Here you have examples of partition labeling: mkfs.ext3 -q -L "system" -b 4096 -I 128 /dev/sda1 mkswap -L "swap" /dev/sda2 mkfs.ext3 -q -L "data" /dev/sda3 BTW. You do not have to use swap normally Rgds pppp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maniana Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hi, pppp! Maybe i was not able to explain the problem - but you can believe: Yes, i can read!! And if the command "fdisk -l" shows nothing, please explain me how i should use a label on a non detected device!! Karol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pppp Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Fdisk -l command shows partitions on your hdd only. Are you sure you have partitions? Try to use fdisk /dev/sda ors fdisk /dev/sdb command to make and manage new partitons. BTW as you see above, system partition has to be formatted with special parameters: mkfs.ext3 -q -L "system" -b 4096 -I 128 /dev/sda1 But I suspect you system is placed in internal nand memory. The another issue is that nbox supports SATA I only. We know that some SATA II HDDs are not compatible backward (eg. Toshiba HDDs) Try to use another HDD.... Hmmm , I see your HDD was working in the past... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
