hi,
I've installed my new Maxtor 40GB, and therfore upgraded my kernel to 2.2.14
for the large disk support.
My bios doesn't recognise the disk as 40GB, but as 33GB. This isn't a problem
as linux doesn't use the bios, i thought.
I have been able to partition is, but somehow now i can't access it anymore
after 33gb. (sector 66055248 is the last one i can read with dd)
I should say that this happened after a reset (because of net memory not
accepted by my mobo (apacer 128 MB sdram))
This is some /proc info:
root@Viking:hdb$ cat driver
ide-disk version 1.08
root@Viking:hdb$ cat capacity
66055248
root@Viking:hdb$ cat geometry
physical 16383/16/63
logical 4111/255/63
root@Viking:hdb$ cat model
Maxtor 54098U8
root@Viking:hdb$ cat settings
name value min max mode

bios_cyl 4111 0 65535 rw
bios_head 255 0 255 rw

When i have partitioned it, i saved the partition information:
root@Viking:hdb$ cat /etc/_hdb_sectors
