All SATA systems uses the scsi-sub-system and not the old PATA (IDE). On SATA there is no way to correct geometry when the kernel "guesses wrong", and all partitioning/formating tools happily writes this geometry down to disk. Then the stupid windows-installer uses another geometry (from OLD BIOS calls) and we end up with unbootable OSs as a result. > > > > what else would be needed here? > > What about MBR code - could this be relevant here, too? Yes, but first the needed tools should be runnable from the linux environment (fdisk, cfdisk? ..and debugging scripts) ..so who can put updates/new things into the project CVS? If we want this project moving we all must use the same basics. > > > Of course there should be a way to write it on a network drive > > for reporting. Yes, Theres a need for this. ..or sending by mail? I would prefer ssh .. :-) Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
