In a root console, I ran hdparm with no flags, and got this: treehouse:/home/cam# hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda: HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS failed: Invalid argument readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8 (on) geometry = 19161/16/255, sectors = 78176880, start = 0 Why the "Invalid argument" responses? I can't find anything in the man page about this, and searching Google provides a number of hits, but they (at least the ones I have found) do not seem to address this. I'm running a patched 2.4.20 kernel if that's any help. Is there something I've missed in the kernel that is causing this? TIA Cam -- Cam Ellison Ph.D. R.Psych.
