Hi Blars,
at least sizes larger 1 TByte fdisk hardly can cope with - well, I did not find
errors, but the sizes show the wrong way (wrap around, /dev/sda3):
Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 1024 heads, 63 sectors, 36187 cylinders
Units = Zylinder of 64512 * 512 bytes

Alright, I believe that's a two-part question. The reason that there is
not a bug about the kernel errors from not being able to read the disk
right is probably because the partition reader is trying to access data
that isn't on the drive. Therefore the IDE/fixed disk layer of the
kernel is complai
Not always true. This can be the sign of a disk that does not have a
proper Sun disk label. If you do not have a proper Sun disk label, you
will not be able to boot the disk, although you still will be able to
mount it if you have PC partition table support in your kernel.
Also, another thing I ha

Hi all,
I'm trying to get Sarge on a plain vanilla Ultra 5.
I'm using the RC2 release of the Debian-Installer Net-Install CD.
