Using 2.3.29 setup for uniprocessor, I can get the kernel to recognize that the drive has 70720 cyls, but gets upset that the partition table is bad. The partition table was built with a stock Redhat 6.1 install. The boot parameters that I used were "ide0=0xfce8,0xfcf6 hda=65535,16,63". Pretty nasty, but it worked. Also, with these parameters, the system has a problem talking to the partition table. Fdisk and Cfdisk both crash, but the kernel recognizes the partition table just fine.
Any suggestions on how to see all of the drive?
Thanks, Dennis Boylan dennis@lan.com
