I have a Seagate 4gig, and then an IBM 18gig UDMA66. (I'm not using the ATA66 controller, it is enabled, but both drives are running off the ATA33 controllers.) When installing SuSE 6.1 it kept detecting my 4gig drive with the hd parameters of my 18gig. Showing 2193 cylinders in LBA mode, when it is supposed to be 523 cylinders. I chose the correct cylinders, and installed Linux OK, and can get to it via a Rescue disk boot, but when booting normally, it complains about the drive geometry on the first drive and says "255 Physical heads?" and then dies. It claims it's a non-IDE drive and then also complains it has no driver for it. I've set the parameters manually on boot using hdb=cyls,heads,sectors (the ones I got from the BIOS in LBA mode)and nothing changes. Is this because of the UDMA66 controller that is running in the system (but that I'm not using)? Do I need to upgrade the kernel or use 6.2 instead? Is this maybe because the kernel doesn't know how to handle the second drive so it screws up the first drive instead? Let me know... -------------------------- Edward Baichtal edwardb@AirLink.com http://www.airlink.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
