Hi! I have an IBM deskstar IDE 25gb HD. I get nothing but trouble when trying to install it. I should report in hdparm (CHS) 16383,16,63 but i only get 4096,16,63 ~= 2gb. When i force the 16383,16,63 setup (which the label states) i get
Sep 8 19:25:58 ey kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:41 (hdd), sector 4129228 Sep 8 19:25:58 ey kernel: hdd: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } Sep 8 19:25:58 ey kernel: hdd: read_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
when i format the drive with mke2fs -c /dev/hdd. The largedisk howto states that it has to report 16383,16,63 for the kernel to recognize that it's bigger than the 8gb BIOS limit...
When i give the geometry as bootparam it still doesn't work.
What to do?
