Re: KERNEL 2.6.3 and MAXTOR 160 GB

[Stephen D. Williams]

Be sure that you are really connected to a newer IDE controller.  This is what
determines whether the OS sees 137GB or the full amount.

2.6.3 and really all recent kernels have worked on hard drives up to 250GB
with the correct controllers for both IDE and Firewire bridge boards.

Now about those 2.6.3 lockups that I am completely in the dark about...
