Hello,

I just got a larger harddisk 8-) --

Unfortunately the kernel (2.0.29, i586) says

<4>hda: ST310720A, 1626MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=825/64/63

from hdparm -i I get

Model=ST31720A, FwRev=0.65, ..., BuffSIze=0kB, ...

Is this a problem in the kernel, or is it a problem in the disk drive?

I have a HP Vectra XM (series 4 5/133) with a Intel-Triton (82371
rev 2) chipset.
