I'm running Linux-2.2.12 on some old hardware (386SX, 16 MHz, Intel
Chipset)
During boot the messages about the harddisk are:
<4>hda: 406MB, CHS=826/16/63
<4>Partition check:
<4> hda: hda1 hda2
<4>VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
hdparm gives rather incomplete values:
tick1a:~ # hdparm -v /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_NOWERR failed: Invalid argument
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 826/16/63, sectors = 832608, start = 0
tick1a:~ # hdparm -i /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Invalid argument
(I think an older version of Linux gave better messages for the same
hardware)
tick1a:~ # cat /proc/ide/drivers
ide-disk version 1.08
tick1a:~ # cat /proc/devices
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty
3 ttyp
4 ttyS
5 cua
7 vcs
10 misc
36 netlink
128 ptm
136 pts
Block devices:
2 fd
3 hd
Did I make anything wrong? I don't see the problem...
Regards,
Ulrich
