Some more info on this: When I run fdisk on the machine that recognizes the drive correctly (P3 Laptop, SuSE9.1 32bit, kernel 2.6.5-17) it reports the following Geometry: 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 608 cylinders On the machine that doesn't it says 155 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1017 cylinders So I suppose this is the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance Michael Am Sonntag, 23. Mai 2004 00:52 schrieb Michael Schulze:
Hi,
I have a weird problem with sbp2 on an amd64/SuSE9.1 machine. When I plug in a firewire harddrive (Apple iPod, PC partitioned) it gives me an "unknown partition message" which is strange since this partition map gets recognized without problems on every other machine with the same setup - SuSE 9.1
The firewire card is recognized as a Lucent Microelectronics FW323 and worked without any probem on an older linux system, so I suppose this is a problem with the sbp2 driver (?) I'm running a SuSE kernel version 2.6.4-54.5-default. The only change I did was to add the line options sbp2 serialize_io=1 to /etc/modprobe.conf.local, since this was needed to get access to the iPod on all other machines. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, Michael
