Hello everyone.
Just in case this might help as an interim-solution:
I use the Maxtor 94098U8 (40GB, 5400 rpm) since end of January. I have no problems using it under Linux 2.2.13 (SuSE 6.3), although I use an older motherboard with Award BIOS and no fix available. I just checked the higher cylinders again with "mke2fs -c /dev/hdb11".
-------------------- And my setup is (sorry, it's Oscar night...:-):
No jumper, no JUMPER.EXE (or somesuch) Disable the drive in the BIOS (keeps it from hanging) Install EZ-Drive (MaxBlast) (actually, don't know if this has any effect other than helping to boot Windows...) Use lilo with an "append" parameter of "hdb=4982,255,63" --------------------
This gives me:
