Re: big IBM harddisk
Hi,
I own a IBM DTLA 304050 (41.1 Gb) and i have the same problem using it on my
Abit LX6 mainboard.
To solve it i installed a second hdd (old 1 gb seagate) as hda (told bios
about it) the ibm as hdc (did NOT tell bios about it) and my cdrom is
connected as hdb. Linux boots using the 1 Gb drive and the kernel 'finds'
the IBM.
i know, it's a workaround, but it does work.
Regards,
Nico de haer
