Hai Chris,

I'm no HD-guru, actually no guru at all, but I think I've dealt with a
similar problem here, so...
I think you hit the 8Gig limit. Older BIOSses can't cope with large disks
(they won't pass the correct info onto the OS or something to that effect)

The future has arrived.
I didn't wait long enough. I turned my back, and sure enough the serial ports
were
back on auto and I couldn't connect. It wasn't different versions of setserial
as I
had thought.
Anyway, Brandon, your solution of adding "serial" to /etc/modules appears to
have
worked.
Hi, Brandon
Sorry I didn't see your message sooner. What I ended up doing is reverting the
slink setserial back to the hamm one, and that took care of the problem. I
think I'll leave well enough alone, but will save your message for a future
attempt.
Thanks

That was a stock 0setserial, just with the change to irq3 as I mentioned before.
