I tried linux hda=1247,255,63 I have kernel 2.0.36 (Redhat 5.2 base system) Booting off a boot floppy .... Loads up and hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL EX10.2A 9789MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=1247/255/63, UDMA
To my Knowledge 9789MB Not Equal 10.2Gig If I boot up in Windows with this drive it says it should be 10263MB Total,Total LBA Sectors 20033055 Windows Finds it great (there is a 8.4? Gig limit on win95?) whcih the disk manager fixes?
What is the problem? Me? Linux? The Bios? The Machine? Or can't I/machine add up right? Has anyone else here one of these HDD's in their machine?
