Hello, I just moved a disk to my PM9600 from an Alpha. It's a 68-pin UltraWide SCSI, 23.2GB drive. It has a 68-pin -> 50-pin converter on it. My problem is Linux (2.4.17) doesn't seem to want to mount it, when trying to do so it says "mount: /dev/sdc6: unknown device". mac-fdisk also says there is no readable partitions on the disk, however cfdisk correctly sees them all: sdc1 PRIMARY FAT16 11.52 sdc5 LOGICAL LINUX swap 2119.18 sdc6 LOGICAL LINUX ext2 21074.29 sda contains MacOS 9. MacOS is able to see the FAT16 partition just fine. I took the drive out and put it back in the Alpha and it works fine. So my question is, why can't I get Linux to mount any partitions from this disk?
this may have been answered already, and probably a better one too, but my 2 cents is that maybe it's because of the FAT16 partition being the first one, instead of the linux root.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! TIA, Ron
