Re: I got a big disk

Mike,
This is probably of no use to you, but just in case it happens to turn out
to be as awkward of a problem as I had:

Those are the exact errors that were produced with an older linux machine of
mine  under ext3.  The problem for me turned out to be completely unrelated
to the hard drive, as it would give the same errors every time I would
install it, regardless of which or how big of a hard drive i used.  Linux
simply did not like my RAM arrangement... In the process of debugging, I
switched the order of my RAM and it fixed the problem.

I guess what i'm trying to say is perhaps try checking other parts of your
configuration, could it be your ribbon cable? could it be another part of
the machine such as the ram causing problems?  Has this machine worked with
previous hard drives?  has it worked with EXT3 on previous hard drives?
etc...

Also many years ago, I was actually required to use a BIOS overlay from
western digital, and then load lilo on top of that, how's your bios? does it
support this size and style of hard drive?  (I appologise if i mentioned
things you've already tried, just trying to go through the order of which
i'd start looking if i were in your shoes :)

I did better. I went to the ext2fs tools site on SourceForge and filed it
there. The problems are with mke2fs and e2label and are not red-hat
specific.

Understandably, both RH and MDK weren't as friendly in guiding me to help
than if I was holding a registered purchased box product in my hands.

I'll try the bugzilla and MDK help sites next.
