Everything is working. I have a Seagate 9.1 Gbyte SCSI ST39173LC that I would like to install as a replacement for one of the 2 Gbyte drives. The dreaded "the 9.1 Gbyte drive works fine in a Pentium 120 system". However, when I install it into the 7300, the system crashes when I attempt to mke2fs any of the partitions (I have tried several partition size combinations). I don't remember if I have tried this since I initialized the partition map on the Pentium Machine. Is this a known problem in the powerpc kernel (I seem to remember a relatively recent CVS log post for the Macintosh version of m68k about a change related to this)? Any suggestions about where to start looking? Thanks, Rick Cook -- rcook@ntlug.org ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
