[cobalt-users] Large Hard Drive > 33 Gigs --- BUG REPORT ---

[Mark Engelhardt <marke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

As you may recall I attempted to install a 60 GB hard drive in a RAQ3i.

It turns out this is a know issue and according to:

http://www.cobalt.com/support/download/raq3.eng.html

> Adding drives larger than 34 gigs causes the kernel to incorrectly identify
them as 34 gigs smaller than they actually are.

It was repaired in the  RaQ3-en-OSUpdate-3.0.pkg

Well I am sad to report that it is not repaired, or the repair was lost in
the next rev of the kernel.

I updated to RaQ3-en-OSUpdate-3.0.pkg  and then went forward right away to:
All-Kernel_i386-1.1.pkg

And my 60 gb drive STILL shows up as a 24 gb drive.

Let me know if you can try the RaQ3-en-OSUpdate-3.0.pkg kernel on a large
drive without the update, I had to but my raq into service, (with a 30 gb
drive) so I can no longer try this kind of thing.
