RE: Question on extended LBA (48Bit) adressing of HDD
Dear listmembers,
dear Daniel,
the formatting works now, this has been my fault (as always ...). However, I am running into severe file-system corruption.
I have been initializing a 40GByte Maxtor hdd, copied files to it, and I could boot. Everything runs just smooth.
Doing the same with the new 400G Hitachi drive results in massive file-system corruption. Copying seems to work ok, but after trying to boot from this disk I get a total mess.
DMA is turned off in all cases (at the boot prompt). This ought to be a pickyness of the controler, isn't it (Promise 133 TX2 PCI-Device)
Any ideas?
Again, many thanks for your help,
take care
Dieter Jurzitza
