Big hard drive - not recognised
I have been looking through the kernel mailing list but couldn't find anything on this. I have two big IDE harddrives in the machine - 200 Gig each. dmesg: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev f9 PIIX4: chipset revision 5 PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio hda: WDC WD2000JB-00DUA0, ATA DISK drive hdb: WDC WD2000JB-00DUA0, ATA DISK drive *snipsnip* ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 hda: 268435455 sectors (137439 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=16709/255/63 hdb: 268435455 sectors (137439 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=16709/255/63 so the kernel detects it as 137 MB only This is on..

I think your kernel is pre-137MB barrier fix (not too sure as to the exact version this got fixed in). Try 2.4.20. -- Martin's distress was in contrast to the bitter satisfaction of some of his fellow marines as they surveyed the scene.

okay - I just read: For large IDE disks (over 137 GB): make sure your kernel is 2.4.19/2.5.3 or later. in the Large Disk HOWTO http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/Large-Disk-1.html Sorry - this works fine Michael mimo wrote: I have been looking through the kernel mailing list but couldn't find anything on this.
