Hi,
Recently I installed Linux (kernel 2.0.12) on a PC with EISA bus and an
Adaptec 1740 (BIOS v1.40) with a 2GB disk drive. I had problems with fdisk
and lilo installation. I found that the aha1740_biosparam() in aha1740.c
did not recognize the extended bios translation. After I put in some simple
fix, I noticed that all other SCSI drivers for Adaptec adapters (aha152x.c,
aha1542.c and aic7xxx.c) have code that returns correct geometry in their
respective xxx_biosparam function. Looks like that 1740 was overlooked.
Would someone who maintains the 1740 driver please put in some fix? Thanks.
regards,
CP Chen
