Hello, I had to reinstall etch on a host with ST340823A and noticed that the drive works with a problematic kernel like 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch4 if it's used only with lvm. So /boot is on another drive and root and other filesystems are on lvm using also ST340823A in the volume group:
# fdisk -l /dev/hdc Disk /dev/hdc: 40.0 GB, 40020664832 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 1 1224 9831748+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/hdc2 1225 3225 16073032+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/hdc3 3226 4865 13173300 8e Linux LVM Kernel complains alot during boot but the lvm filesystems can be used and fsck'd even with badblocks checks. Also the Debian installer was able to create a new logical volume while the installer kernel complained a lot about the drive. -Mikko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
