Hello,
I'm attempting to install a pretty old seagate 1-gig drive on my
2.2.7-stable machine with an Adaptec 1540 ISA-based controller.
When booting, it seems to detect it just fine:
aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
(aha0:0:0): "TANDEM 4240-1 6420" type 0 fixed SCSI 1
sd0(aha0:0:0): Direct-Access 999MB (2038001 514 byte sectors)
but when something actually tries to access it (fdisk, for example), I get
the error:
sd0: Can't deal with 514 bytes logical blocks
Debugger("sd") called.
and then that program dies.
I'm fairly green with a lot of scsi issues, so I'm basically stuck. Can
anyone help me out? is this disk even usable?
Any help would be very appreciated ... or even a "throw the damn thing
out, Irving",
