Dear listmembers, dear Daniel, the formatting works now, this has been my fault (as always ...). However, I am running into severe file-system corruption.
I have been initializing a 40GByte Maxtor hdd, copied files to it, and I could boot. Everything runs just smooth. Doing the same with the new 400G Hitachi drive results in massive file-system corruption. Copying seems to work ok, but after trying to boot from this disk I get a total mess. DMA is turned off in all cases (at the boot prompt). This ought to be a pickyness of the controler, isn't it (Promise 133 TX2 PCI-Device) Any ideas? Again, many thanks for your help, take care Dieter Jurzitza -----Original Message----- From: Daniel J.
