Hi all,

I just added an IDE drive (Maxtor 33073H3) to my LM7.1
system.  The existing drive is a SCSI drive, and IDE0 has
a CD-ROM and a ZIP drive.

I added the new drive as the master on IDE1, and kudzu
detected the drive.

Despite the fact that the drive is configured in the BIOS for
LBa (3736 cyl., 255 hd., 63 spt.), the kudzu database has the
following entry:

class: HD
bus: IDE
detached: 0
device: hdc
driver: ignore
desc: "Maxtor 33073H3"
physical: 59556/16/63
logical: 59556/16/63

When I try to run fdisk /dev/hdc, I get the following result:

Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF
disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

When I run fdisk -l /dev/hdc, I get the following result:

Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 59556 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

Disk /dev/hdc doesn't contain a valid partition table

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

All suggestions gratefully anticipated.
