Hello,
I have a Tekram DC-390U and a scsi HDD (/dev/sda), containing a
Win98 partition (/dev/sda1). I use linux kernel 2.3.22.
When I run lilo, I get the following warning:
ll_rw_block: device 08:00: only 1024-char blocks implemented (512)
At the beginning of scsicam_bios_param() drivers/scsi/scsicam.c:
| if(blksize_size[MAJOR(dev)])
| block = blksize_size[MAJOR(dev)][MINOR(dev)];
|
| if (!(bh = bread(MKDEV(MAJOR(dev), MINOR(dev) & ~0xf), 0, block)))
| return -1;
I think that this code reads /dev/sda with the block size of /dev/sda1,
but the block size should be of /dev/sda.
