More diagnostics:
After the last report, I repartitioned the drive, adding 'sda1' (vfat)
and 'sda2' (swap), and found that swap wouldn't load on bootup, although
'/etc/fstab' had the right line. It turned out my
'/boot/initrd.img-2.6.9-1-686' didn't contain the module for the
recently added SCSI card, so SCSI was loaded late. To correct that I
did a 'dpkg-reconfig kernel-image-2.6.9-1-686', and now swap loads on
bootup.
Then I tried 'sraw' again:
% sraw /dev/sda; echo $?
Size 0 sectorsize 0
Floating point exception
136
% sraw /dev/sda1; echo $?
Size 0 sectorsize 0
Floating point exception
136
% sraw /dev/sda2; echo $?
Size 0 sectorsize 0
Floating point exception
136
It still doesn't work, but the "please convert it to SG_IO" error is
gone.
