Yeah, get yourself one of those nifty add-in IDE controllers that CAN see drives greater than 32GB. S'What I did and it works fine. On Fri, 8 Dec 2000, Matan Ziv-Av wrote: > > Hi, > > > I have an IBM drive, DTLA-307075 (75GB), and a bios that hangs with > large disks. I use a jumper to clip

OK, thanks to Andries Brouwer, who pointed me to IBM's dtla_spw.pdf, I solved the problem: The kernel (2.2.18-pre25 + ide.2.2.18-24.all.20001204.patch.bz2) already has support for unclipping. The problem is that the IBM drive does not work with the method used when clipped with the jumper. The
