Bug#642179: debian-installer: Installs on drives larger than 2.19TB fails with older bios
This is failing with the current squeeze installer that uses grub2.
What I don't know is if this is possibly a BIOS issue - my understanding is that Debian takes over
and uses its own driver.
This is on a Tyan S7002 which uses:
# lspci |grep SATA
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI Controller
for the SATA controller.
I'm attempting a workaround - I'm installing the main system on a 40GB raided pair of SSD and will
have /homes on large (> 2.18TB ) drives. I will partition the large drives with gparted and use GPT.
