So BIOS uses some CHS translation mechanism here. What BIOS brand/version/date you have?
LBA support Yes 3098.8MB of LBA addressable 3098.8MB in CHS mode
What a pity that your BIOS can't use LBA mode! Or can it?
Congratulations, your drive supports ATA-2
This means UDMA. You could try the UDMA driver there but it will probably insist on LBA and fail.
I've try 4 combination of kernel 2035/2035a, FreeCOM 0.82pl3 and 0.82pl3ak. Format still complain "5 consecutive bad sector" as before. But I can boot Win98 and using FORMAT 0.91s to format the hard disk.
FreeCOM doesn't affect FORMAT. If by "2035a" you mean the unstable kernel, then this means that both the stable and the unstable kernels cause FORMAT to complain. So, there is NO additional bug in the unstable kernel but a common bug in both kernel branches. Or am I wrong?
