Has anyone successfully configured the Seagate Barracuda 15150N 4 GB SCSI
hard drive with the BusLogic 946C? Under DOS, I can see the whole hard
drive with the BTfdisk program, but fdisk for Linux complains that I need
to set the number of heads, and I can't get the DOS fdisk to tell me
how many heads/cyl/sectors it thinks the drive has. Does anyone have the
correct numbers for this drive?
It sounds like you are setting the > 1 GB option in Audo-SCSI. If so, you'll
need to run kernel 1.2.13 as there was a bug in the extended translation
geometry. See the 1.2.13 patch for the details.
