Is it always necessary to set extended BIOS translation for DOS drives off when using Linux on a SCSI drive greater than 1 gig? I didn't and Linux recognizes the space just fine, although I'm seeing some strange things. I didn't know if they were being caused by that or were a problem in the SCSI controller itself.
I'm using a AHA2940AU controller with aic7xxx driver. The drive activity lights stay on and sometimes on a warm boot, the controller won't recognize the drive. There is a 50MB DOS partition on the 2 gig drive.
Should I turn off the extended BIOS translation and re-Linux the drive, or should I be alright with these symptoms?
I've noticed the problem with warm boots on another computer I've worked with, has anybody else?
Thanks!
Ben
