Re: Changes in UltraPenguin 1.1.9 area

[Andreas Jungmaier <ajung@etecs3.uni-duisburg.de>]

Hello everyone,

I recently installed UltraLinux-1.1.9 on two UltraSparc1. I am impressed,
as the install went out of  the box, just as I was used to by other 
RedHat versions. So, first of, thanks a lot to all who contributed to that
port.

However, I tried adding a new harddrive (SEAGATE   Model: ST39173LC),
which supposedly has around 9 GBytes, and cannot access that drive.
The message displayed at bootup is shown below. I am not sure, whether
the announcement Jakub Jelinek made concerning the most recent changes 
would help me out with this. I would appreciate any comments to that.

I might add, that calling fdisk yielded an error saying that /dev/sdb
could not be accessed...
