SATA disc and fstab

Sun Apr 10 13:48:22 UTC 2005

Hi,

after running the various SUSE distros for the last years, I decided
to switch to ubuntu. Everything works fine so far. However I have
some trouble with my SATA disc which I use only for data storage.
During booting the controller is found but not the disc (sda). So 
when the system tries to do the filesystem check on sda it fails.
Only later sda becomes available. As a work around I made the
entry for this disc in fstab "user,noauto". Is there a way to make
my SATA disc visible earlier, so that the filesystem check does not
fail?

Thanks

Andreas
