I'm a bit confused about this...
With 2.0.28, My disks are: hda: ST31720A, 1626MB w/0kB Cache, LBA, CHS=826/64/63 hdb: FX001DE, ATAPI CDROM drive hdc: WDC AC31200F, 1222MB w/64kB Cache, LBA, CHS=2484/16/63
(its a compudyne dx/4 100, hda is a 1600 MB seagate, hdc is a 1200 MB WD Caviar).
I haven't done anything special with the geometry (it autodetects in the bios).
[I was under the impression hda has 128 kbyte of cache, but I'm not very concerned about it].
Anyway, I get: hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 > hda3 hda4 hdc: [PTBL] [621/64/63] hdc2 hdc3
Why did 2484/16/63 become 621/64/63? Why isn't hda PTBL? What is PTBL supposed to be?
