Because you've been responding on the list to messages that haven't been on the list (at least, I haven't seen them), I'm not sure what makes you think this. And I'm not sure whether this will be of any help. But 2.0.34, at least, can deal with >8.4G IDE drives... Aug 5 07:32:56 arioch kernel: Linux version 2.0.34 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) #1 Tue Jul 6 12:27:22 EDT 1999 [blah blah blah] Aug 5 07:32:56 arioch kernel: hda: Maxtor 91728D8, 16479MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=33483/16/63 and the drive works just spiffily. This is on a system with one SCSI drive and one IDE drive. The BIOS doesn't know about the IDE drive, so it boots Linux off the SCSI drive. I hope this helps somebody, if not you. -- I get my monkeys for nothing and my chimps for free. http://www.clark.net/pub/hermit/
