Open a terminal window (xterm, eterm, kvt, konsole, whatever) and become
root. Then,
# cfdisk /dev/hdX (where X is the location of this 4G drive; a=master on
controller 0, b=slave on 0, c=master on 1, d=slave on 1.)
cfdisk has help inside of it; use it.
Partition the drive in the appropriate manner for your needs--can't help
you there; I don't exactly know what those are. Once this is done, exit
cfdisk by [W]riting the partition table to disk.
Then, use the mkfs utility to make filesystems on the partitions. If
you'd set up one 1G FAT16 partition on /dev/hdb1, one 2G ext2 partition
on /dev/hdb2, and another 2G ext2 partition on /dev/hdb3, then you'd
# mkdosfs -c /dev/hdb1
# mke2fs -c /dev/hdb2
# mke2fs -c /dev/hdb3
Then, edit /etc/fstab so that these new filesystems can be mounted
automagically upon boot. For the above setup, you'd add some lines like:
/dev/hdb1 vfat /mnt/win umask=000 0 0
/dev/hdb2 ext2 /home/2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb3 ext2 /home/3 defaults 0 2
Edit mount points to suit your taste, of course.
No need to reboot; just mount these new filesystems on their mount points
using "mount". HTH, bonne chance.

Unfortunately, I missed the beginning of this thread (already
expired..).
So I don't know if the HD in question (sde) is also a Seagate or
some
other model. If it happens to be an IBM _U2W_ drive, so I can say
at
least for the DNES-309170, that there is a jumper to change
between
LVD (aka U2W) and SE (for UW) mode. I've tried that - works fine
for
me (SYM 21002 HA, that is dual channel UW (channel A) resp U2W.

Apols for piggy-backing, Dimitri, but I've had similar SCSI problems, so
just adding my bunch of problems.
In a similar vien, I've had my Yamaha 4416S lock up with an Adpatec 2940AU,
which even a reboot couldn't fix: I had to power the system down then back
up to wake the Yamaha up...the rest of the SCSI bus was unaffected. System
is a uni-prossor P200MMX running a custom config'd 2.2.14.
And, more in tune with the above problem from Dimitri, a Yamaha 8424S gave
problems until we disabled parity checking in the Adaptec BIOS. Halfway
through a dd (dd if=/dev/scd0 of=cd.out) we'd get a SCSI parity error,
shortly followed by a SCSI bus reset. After the rest, the Yamaha would not
respond one jot, and eventually the kernel would just give a SCSI timeout
similar to the above...essentially, the Yamaha was unusable until a reboot.
The SCSI card is, IIRC, an Adaptec 2960. As said, disabling the Adpatec's
parity option in the BIOS solved the problem...but we're keeping an eye on
the system to ensure it doesn't cause data corruption. We have parity
enabled on the drive itself. Again, the rest of the SCSI bus was unaffected.
This is a Dell Poweredge 4300, Dual PIII 500, stock Redhat 6.1 2.2.13smp
kernel.
Is it a known problem with Yamaha (re)writers? If anymore information needed
then I'll see what I can find out.

Strange: it works just fine with my Red Hat Linux 6.0 with kernel
2.2.5-something (on my other machine; this one has an HP C1599A DDS-2

If it is plugged into a SCSI interface, you probably just read and
write /dev/st0 or /dev/nst0. You can diddle some of the paramteres
with mt -f /dev/st0 whatnot, if necessary.

Subject: What determines rebootability?
Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 03:33:14 GMT
I have a 486-66, and so far I haven't been able to do a warm reboot on
it. It's a fairly old motherboard. I'm not sure that it can handle large
hdds (but I have a 1Gb in there now. Would Linux be able to work like
that? It does have LBA support. I can never remember what the
significance of all this is)
When I execute the reboot script, it just hangs when it gets to
the end. I can't even get it to reboot using ctrl-alt-del when it gets
to the end of a 'halt' or 'reboot' script. This wouldn't be that big a
deal, but sometimes it'll be necessary to restart remotely, when I'm not
even in the room.
My guess is that it is the bios or motherboard or something that is
getting in my way, however, I can perform a reboot w/ctrl-alt-del before
LILO loads the kernel. This leads me to believe that there is a software
solution to my problem.

My first FORTRAN II (before it was called 68) program compiled
and ran as desired in Oct 1967 (six seven) and I have been around
big time software development projects more than three times.
Yes, the docs SUCK but that started with Unix and is only
emulated in Linux.

I agree completely and while I will not swear by Linux yet, I
have not sworn by anything since MS-DOS 6.0 so that is not an
issue.

Yep! The docs are only of value after you need them no longer.

No, if it's a PS/2 mouse it uses IRQ12. Don't worry, be happy!

I would never, ever say a thing like this:
You repeat the foolish myth that all of us Linux enthusiasts

fabricate unecessary effort for ourselves.
I worship the ground you guys walk on, particularly when its 3:00 am and I've been
pulling my hair out trying to find a solution. I don't think you are perverse or
masochist (maybe a bit strange), I just believe that most of the Linux
documentation *I* have run across in *my* unremarkable Linux experience seems to
have been written by and for people with much more Linux experience (or just much
smarter, period) than the average Joe like me.
Linux has proven to be a golden egg for me, so I can assure you I have no desire
to kill it, or impune the integrity of those who keep it alive.

Subject: modules not loading
Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 16:59:33 +1100
Greetings
I have Red Hat linux 6.1. It set up with a whole pile of modules included. I
am trying to load two of them, ppa.o and lp.o but when I try to load them
with the insmod command, they both report " unresolved references" and
don't load. I have tried re-compiling them but keep getting errors. Has
anyone got these modules working properly? I would value any help in getting
them going.
Greg

Subject: ADSL kills modem carrier?
Date: 12 Mar 2000 05:57:07 GMT
You might ask why the heck I'd be using a modem if I have
DSL. Well, if you read my old posts about adventures with
ethernet cards, you'd know :-)
Anyway, there I was having torn a dysfunctional ISA enet
card out of one of my machines and having no console on
the gateway connected to the DSL line. So I put the old
modem back in and dialed out using SLIP (anything to
read my mail, at that point).
At this point things got weird. My SLIP connection would
last only a few seconds before reporting "disconnect"
or "no carrier". I used SLIP for years prior to this,
so I have to wonder whether the live DSL signal piggybacking
on the voice line is somehow interfering with normal
modem traffic in the voice frequencies.
Can anyone comment on this?

Subject: Kingston Fast EtherRx card, gotcha?
Date: 12 Mar 2000 06:00:16 GMT
Anyone had problems with one of these (driver 'tulip')?
Or with one of these sharing the PCI bus with an NE2K
clone?
I tried to install a Kingston card and couldn't get it
to work (see posting about Kudzu segv). I have been
assuming the problem was that Kudzu screwed up the
OS config, but perhaps the Kingston card has its
own problems?
This is RH 6.1 -- anyone plugged in the PCI Kingston
10/100Tx "Fast EtherRx" card and had it "just work"?
