Hi, We successfully installed Mandrake 8.2 on a ML530 (cciss raid card). The problem was that the new cciss drivers is creating the device as: /dev/cciss/disc0/disc /dev/cciss/disc0/part1 /dev/cciss/disc0/part3 /dev/cciss/disc0/part5 ... We think that the Mandrake guy are still using the old

[expert] 80 GB Harddrive with Mandrake 8.2

I have just purchased a Maxstor 80GB Hard drive (D740X-6L). The computer is a new P4 1.6 and the bios auto-detects it properly. It is mounted as hdc (it is master on second ide channel with no slave) When I use diskdrake, I can see the drive but, it reports it as being a 76GB drive (96% usage).
