Dear EUGLUG, I have a spare 40GB drive I was planning on putting in an old AMD K6-2 500 server. The machine is currently running off of a 6GB drive. I've got 2 of these same machines -- 1 is running my websites, and the other is at home as a test machine.
When I put the 40GB drive in there, the motherboard only saw 20GB of it. So my idea was to get a EIDE PCI card which would have the added benefit that I could run the 40GB drive at full UDMA100 speed. But this makes me curious if the kernel will need the driver for the PCI card, and would that mean I'd have to boot from floppy? Or would it just mean that the boot partition needs to be at the beginning of the drive so the motherboard can see it and once Linux is loaded, the rest of the drive is visible? I'm always confused by where Linux overcomes motherboard deficiencies.
