hi,
I had a redhat linux 6.1 setup on a 9GB drive. But someother group used that disk to
install some other OS. Also they made some changes to the BIOS settings
of the machine which they dont remember.
disk is SEAGATE ST19191W connected to a Adaptec AIC-7880 Ultra/Ultra W
BIOS v1.26sP8
system BIOS - Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Rel 60
When I install redhat 6.1 again, I have some problems. The
cylinders/heads/sectors is set to 8682/64/32. This does not allow me to
create a root partition of more than 1023MB. Other than this I dont have
any other installation problems.
However, after installation I am unable to boot, since lilo hangs after
'LI'.
So how do I change the no. of cylinders? Is this some option in the
bios?
I also tried to do a low level format but it failed with error 'device
not ready'.
Please get back to me for more info.
Thanks in advance,
Raju
