ie, 149.05 GiB (thks jdd).
why swap says solaris?
/dev/hda1 1 99 795186 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Both types of partition use the same id number, they are not distinguishable looking at the partition type in the partition table alone. But the make swap program places a pattern it recognizes. I suppose those numbers are limited, or there is not a registrar, or who knows.
Try "fdisk -l" to see if it is really not seen. If it is not, see in /var/log/boot.msg why not. I assume the bios does see it.
only shows a lares:/home/boricua # fdisk -l

Ah.
grep hdb /var/log/boot.msg <6> ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio 134504212+ 83 Linux
It is there, as type "pio", which is weird. Not really recognized, it seems.
i assume the bios is not seeing it?
I can't say, you have to go into the bios setup and check. Maybe not connected properly, jumpers not correct perhaps. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDLLMxtTMYHG2NR9URAhLbAJ4mCO315e1+X/SeMSROOTQiy8C2fQCePeEb vFM/lcaDZ0bVVFzpVlwxSWo= =pCR7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
