I've been using 2.2 kernels for a long time before this.
what kind of disk and what controller? is it a single IDE disk? if so you may need a patch for 48-bit IDE addressing. I have partitioned/formatted 220GB disks (6x80GB in raid10 connected to a 3ware raid card) without any trouble under debian potato/2.2.19, it should work fine under 2.4.x, I am thinking its an addressing problem though. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
