Installation of Drivers

  • Hi
    I am a newbie to Linux. I am running version 0.3 and I have just installed a new VIA VT6421 based PCI-SATA card. How do I go about installing drivers so that OMV can use the card. Would it be easier to reinstall the OS and let the it sort this out.
    BTW I assume that this is the problem as OMV detects all the HDDs connected to the mainboard but not the ones connected to the new card.
    Thanks

  • Can you please run the command lspci from a shell (ssh) and put the output in here?


    It should get recognized. Also is the card/controller showing up on BIOS prompt during startup of the system?

    Everything is possible, sometimes it requires Google to find out how.

  • Ok so what have I done wrong??


    There are alot of important updates in my update manager which won't update (can't resolve FTP server errors when I try)


    according to the shells help command there doesn't seem to any command that even remotely looks like lspci.


    Also I see nothing that indicates that the BIOS has or has not detected the card


  • Ok don't worry about anything.
    It has just decided to work. I have no idea how or why but it can no see both drives connected to the PCI card.
    Thanks for the help SerErris
