I have a machine with an EIDE drive and a SCSI 1.3GB
The SCSI is an old HP mainframe drive with 255 heads, 164 cylinders,
and 63 sectors. I am able to use the rescue disk to start the debian
install, and then modify the settings with the expert commands withing
FDISK so that it doesn't see >1024 cylinders. After creating
partitions, I went to initilize the partition for linux, and it tells
me the drive is "not ready." Any idea what this means? Do I need to
format the drive or something? What settings do I need to
enable/disable to have the root partition and swap partitions set up
on the drive?
Thanks,
Andy Infante
