| |
Once upon a time there was a 2.1gig limit on IDE drives (something about 4096cyl 64head 16sec limit). I am running 2.0.29 and RedHat 4.1. Does anyone know if this limit has been re-programmed to something higher, as I was about to get a hard drive larger than 2.1gig as an upgrade. Last time I had a drive larger than this, my kernel paniked as soon as it polled the ide devices and I had to remove the drive from the system just to get into Linux (the hard drive in question was not even partitioned for Linux, but was used in Windows....I know, dual boot *eewwwww*). :)
