Subject: Re: [BUG 2.6.7] : Partition table display bogus...
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2004 19:28:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1088216934.40dcdf66edd1d@webmail.island.net> (raw)
Having partition table troubles here with 2.6.7 on hdc: unknown partition table.
but not on hda.
Using 2.6.6 kernel, hdc is handled just fine, partitions are visible.
The boot drive is hda, drive hdc is for other optional mount points.

--------
It's been said in this thread that the kernel no longer guesses a geometry;
it's also been said elsewhere that the kernel doesn't use CHS at all.
What do I put on the kernel parameter line to give a define geometry?
I've tried hdc=lba32, with no success.
