Trouble with HDD > 137GB Using Sarge
Hi folks,
I have been googling this for the last few hours and I just can't
figure out exactly what I need to do. I just installed Sarge
(netinst) on a new 200GB drive from Seagate (ATA/100). During the
installation process, the partitioner only saw the first 137 GB. I
had already flashed my BIOS and was sure things should be working -
when I boot Knoppix and run cfdisk, it can see the whole 200GB. I
figured, well, I'll put /home at the end of the disk, and once things
are installed, maybe I'll be able to see the whole thing, and then I
can just wipe out /home, put in a new partition that uses up the rest
of the space, and be done with it. The only problem is I still can't
do that. Even with the 2.6.7 kernel, I can't see the rest of the
drive. What am I doing wrong? Is there something I need to enable in
the kernel? I know this is doable because Knoppix did it. I was so
happy with this new Debian installer - it did everything else right.
All I want now is the rest of my HDD!
Please CC me on reply as I am not subscribed to debian-user (I was
once upon a time, but my mailbox just can't handle it).
TIA,
Kurt
