This may not be of much help to you but here is my experience...
I have a Promise Technology Ultra 66 IDE controller card as a second
IDE controller on this machine (the first is the motherboard's old
built-in controller).
In order to get the kernel to recognize this new Promise Ultra 66 c

It really sucks, basically. I found out that I had to track down the
manufacturer of my large hard drive, get the specs from them, and then pass
them on to cfdisk/fdisk and ignore the warnings that those programs gave me. I

It has been my experience that the
2FA:
prompt usually occurs when I have screwed up and have more than one partition
flagged as bootable. Does this seem to be the case for more people. or is the
