In fact, I have 2 installs. I have a 33 gig SCSI drive split into 3, 11 gig partitions. I have 10.3.2 on 2 partitions. So, not only is there no 8 gig limit, there is no "first 8 gig of the drive" limit either.
U want to fly over here and look huh? I'm telling you it happened on my 9600. If you don't wanna believe that it does occur in some circumstances then you'd be ignoring me and a number of other people here... Ryan Rempel has, I think, acknowledged that the problem exists and may be able to do something about it.
I didn't say I didn't believe you. I'm just saying that your problem is not caused by "the 10.3 installer".
What it could be is my ACARD SCSI card. I know some of them masquerade as ATA devices on the bus in order to achieve greater compatibility. Maybe OS X's installer falsely identifies these?
That's *exactly* what it is. I thought you were talking about a SCSI drive attached to the motherboard SCSI connector. Your ACARD card is an IDE card, that's why it has the problem. My VST Ultratek/66 IDE cards have the 8 gig limit issue in my S900, but do not in my B&W G4 tower. Real SCSI drives do not have this problem.
