Maxtor 100gb 536dx
Greetings,
I just purchased the above drive to install in our Potato server here at
work. I'm planning on taking the server down tonight after hours so as
not to interrupt the work flow.
In order to facilitate this, I thought I would partition the drive and
have it ready to go. I did this on my workstation, which is a ~bunk-ified
potato system running 2.4.9. I attempted to use cfdisk on the drive and
got:
mattyt:~# cfdisk /dev/hdc
FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive
Press any key to exit cfdisk
When I checked dmesg, it seems the kernel recongnizes the drive:
hda: FUJITSU MPD3084AT, ATA DISK drive
hdb: FUJITSU M1638TAU, ATA DISK drive
hdc: Maxtor 4W100H6, ATA DISK drive
...but there is some sort of problem, because at the end of dmesg is this
line:
hdc: driver not present
Can anyone help me find what 'driver' I need to get this drive to work?
Incidentally, I am running a custom 2.2.19 kernel on the server.
TIA :)
