RE: 2.2.18 and Maxtor 96147H6 (61 GB)

I had exactly this problem with the Maxtor 61 GB drive on my
Pentium based server. Theoretically a BIOS upgrade could fix it,
but ASUS quit making BIOS upgrades for my motherboard two years
ago.

I solved the problem by getting a Promise Ultra 100 controller
and putting the drive on that. Works perfectly under Linux
Mandrake 2.2.17-mdk-21 - it shows up as /dev/hde. They are
cheap controllers if you don't get the RAID version.

Best wishes.
