I have a machine with an EIDE drive and a SCSI 1.3GB
The SCSI is an old HP mainframe drive with 255 heads, 164 cylinders,
and 63 sectors. I am able to use the rescue disk to start the debian
install, and then modify the settings with the expert commands withing
FDISK so that it doesn't see 1024 cylinders. After creating
partitions, I went to initilize the partition for linux, and it tells
me the drive is not ready. Any idea what this means? Do I need to
format the drive or something? What settings do I need to
enable/disable to have the root partition and swap partitions set up
on the drive?
Thanks,
Andy Infante
