U5 running 2.6 with a 20GB hard drive issue.
2007-12-25 2:34:00
I have an Ultra 5 - 400MHz, 256MB, 20GB Seagate ST320011A hard drive - and I
am trying to load 2.6 5/98. I keep getting a bad label error. The label
reports one amount (the correct one) of cylinders and the disk reports a
smaller amount. 2.6 tries to install only to fail mounting the file system
upon reboot. I believe that 2.6 cannot read the geometry of this particular
disk. I have found a patch for the disk at Tadpole but it is an OS package. Is
there any other workaround for this as a prepatch?
I will summarize
Thank you all in advance ...
Btw, upgrading the OS is not an option at this time.
