Yesterday, I obtained a Fujitsu MPE3102AT hard drive that Linux
id's as follows:
Q> hdb: FUJITSU MPE3102AT, ATA DISK drive
Q> hdb: FUJITSU MPE3102AT, 9773MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=19857/16/63
If I list this drive in the BIOS table, I get a 10 minute (yes, I
did say "minute") pause after the RAM check, and "lost interrupt"
error messages by the dozen every time it's accessed, but if I
don't list it in the BIOS table, no such messages appear and
there's no pause either.
I'm running with RedHat 6.1 and using the standard release kernel
2.2.12-20 and for reference...
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 4
model : 8
model name : 486 DX/4
stepping : 0
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
sep_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme
bogomips : 49.87
I'm not sure how to ID the motherboard though...
Best wishes from Riley.
