SubjectRe: e2fsprogs and 2Gb partitions

Sorry, I really don't understand anything!, I have just repartion my
disk and now it works!, well, may be the problem had something to do with
the scsi driver (aic7xxx), when I tried it the first time I was using 4.0
version, I'm now using 5.0.13 (as later versions keep resetting the bus
for ever, and yes I have tried every possible option in lilo :) and it
works. Using e2fsprogs-1.10 patched with debian patch to 1.10-17. But
wait! I have just seen in ftp.dialnet.net a new version 5.0.19 may be it
works for me, going to try it NOW! (I really want to catch up the last
kernel version and not keeping my old good 2.1.102)

Thanks everybody, sorry again, from now I will test everything
before posting...

PS: I'm starting to notice the differences between Buslogic and Adaptec :)
