I'm trying to load Debian 3.0r1 onto an
Ultra Sparc 60 and I'm having a problem
partitioning my second drive. Info from probe-scsi-all: Target 0 Unit 0 Disk
FUJITSU MAJ3182M SUN18G 0804 Target 1 Unit 0 Disk
IBM IC35L036UCD210-0S5BS When I partition the Fujitsu drive (SUN18G) Debian
recognizes the drive and no problems here.
When I go to partition the IBM drive (73LZX) it can't
auto-configure the drive. The IBM
website has a compatibility chart for the 73LZX and it lists the Ultra 60 as
compatible. I've searched IBM's website and cannot find all of the
information I need to setup the drive manually.
I've Googled for the drive and I think I
have some of the info I need. My guesses are in quotations. Heads (1-1024, default 64):
"6" Secorts/track (1-1024, default
32): "63" Cylinders (1-65535, default 35001):
"4462" Alternate cylinders (0-65535, default 2): ????? Physical cylinders (0-65535, default 35003): "4462" Rotation speed (rpm) (1-100000, default 5400): "10000" Interleave factor (1-32, default 1): ????? Extra sectors per cylinder (0-32, default 0): ????? Is anyone out there using one of these IBM drives on an Ultra Sparc? If so, could
you kindly direct me to where I might find the appropriate information to get
this drive properly partitioned? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Chuck ========================================================= "Good judgment is the product of
