SATA drive support

nbrecht01 opened this issue · 3 comments

BareMetal OS should support SATA disk drives. The kernel loads fine, but the disk appears empty when running the 'dir' command, saying it is 0 bytes big.

BareMetal does support SATA disks via the AHCI driver.

  • What hardware are you running it on?
  • Was the drive formatted with BMFS?

Sorry for taking so long to answer!
Yes, the drive was BMFS formatted.
Hardware:
AMD Athalon 64
M3A78-CM Motrherboard

The kernel boots fine, but the disk size is 0B and none of my apps will show up with the 'dir' command.

Check your SATA Configuration in the BIOS. "OnChip SATA Type" should be set to AHCI.
