Well I do have a PDC20265, so I installed the 2.6.0test5 rpm from
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/RPMS.kernel/
That allowed me to get access to the whole drive. I made an ext3 filesystem on it and everything mounted real nice. Unfortunately, now after about a minute of hard copying the IDE channels timeout and reset. I get the timeout on hdg (which is the 250G drive), but the filesystem on hdf (which is a 120G drive that I am copying from) get corrupted. I didn't have this problem with any of the other kernels, so I think it might have something to do with what went in for test5. I am still looking at that though. I am also going to try moving the drive that is currently hdf onto the standard motherboard channels so that it isn't on that controller. I hope to get the source rpm for 2.6.0test5 and the .config for it tonight and try recompiling with some different options. Does any one have any suggestions on what I should look for?
Thanks for all you help you guys have been really great.
