Unfortunately it seems your IDE chipset doesnt support LBA48, so you wont be able to access full capacity (137GB limit). If you are ready to take a risk (again ;-) ) you can remove "hwif->no_lba48 = ..." line from a drivers/ide/pci/alim15x3.c, recompile and retest without using DMA (add "ide=nodma" boot option). Maybe LBA48 will work in PIO mode. --bartlomiej On Tuesday 02 of September 2003 15:28, steveb@unix.lancs.ac.uk wrote: > I just got a new 200GB disk (WDC WD2000JB) for my home machine (Asus > A7A266, Ali chipset).
