Subject: Using a Maxtor 40 GiG drive with SuSE 6.3
I purchased a Maxtor 40 gig Ultra-DMA 66 drive for on my older system.
The biso shows it as a 8 gig drive. I have read the newer kernel will read the
drive correctly, and I also found a patch. However, I don't know how to patch a
kernel or compile and install a new one.
Is there a compiled kernel out there I can download to replace the kernel in my
SuSE 6.3 system that will allow it to use the entire 40 gig drive?
If there is an easier way, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
joe
