Hi,

There was a thread on this 2-3 months back.
IDE in 2.4 doesn't have a 48-bit block address interface IIRC,
although Andre has some patches for this.
This is necessary to go above 137 GB.

160gb disk showing up as 137gb

[Wakko Warner]

Just bought a maxtor 160gb disk and it shows upt as a 137gb disk.  I thought
this might be the system board's ide chipset limitation so I put a scsi->ide
adapter on the drive.  Same situation occurs.  I'm looking at what the kernel
reports when it finds the drive.  /proc/partitions shows this drive as:

Wasn't some of that merged into one of the early 2.4.19-pre kernels?

ERM,

Why is it showing up under SCSI ?

It's not on a raid controller.  The machine has a PIIX3 ide controller and a
AHA-2940UW scsi controller.  Both exibit the same problem.

[Jeff V. Merkey]

If you are using a 3Ware adapter, you will need to upgrade 
the firmware to enable 48 bit lba.  Ditto other RAID controllers.

True, but some cards will require a firmware upgrade.
