there were various size-limits in older kernels/BIOSes... For example there was one at 33.8 GB. Are you sure your drive is exactly 30 GB, and not a few percent larger? You'll find more details on this in the following howto: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/Large-Disk.html > Too bad of the patches, I should rewrite them I guess. as a temporary solution you might try to find a patch for your kernel version. If I remember correctly, there is one for 2.0.38, maybe you can somehow get that working for 2.0.33... In the long run, it would probably be a better idea to rewrite your patches ;) Erdmut -- Erdmut Pfeifer science+computing gmbh -- Bugs come in through open windows. Keep Windows shut! --
