Well, I did the upgrade w/o success... Here's the basic procedure -- Visit: ftp://ftp-eng.cobalt.com/pub/users/thockin/2.4/gen_III/ Following the instructions I backed up and then upgraded my ROM: [root@cobalt ROM]# ./flashtool -v -r > backup.rom ./flashtool: searching for PCI 10b9:7101 : found it at /proc/bus/pci/00/03.0 ./flashtool: systype = COBT_3K ./flashtool: bank 0: AMD AM29F080B 1MB ./flashtool: Using pthread POSIX real time scheduling. ./flashtool: reading page 0 ./flashtool: reading page 1 ./flashtool: reading page 2 ./flashtool: reading page 3 ./flashtool: reading page 4 ./flashtool: reading page 5 ./flashtool: reading page 6 ./flashtool: reading page 7 ./flashtool: reading page 8 ./flashtool: reading page 9 ./flashtool: reading page 10 ./flashtool: reading page 11 ./flashtool: reading page 12 ./flashtool: reading page 13 ./flashtool: reading page 14 ./flashtool: reading page 15 ./flashtool: flushing buffers [root@cobalt ROM]# ./flashtool -v -w 2.3.40.rom ./flashtool: searching for PCI 10b9:7101 : found it at /proc/bus/pci/00/03.0 ./flashtool: systype = COBT_3K ./flashtool: bank 0: AMD AM29F080B 1MB ./flashtool: Using pthread POSIX real time scheduling. ./flashtool: writing page 0 ./flashtool: buffer page 0 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 1 ./flashtool: buffer page 1 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 2 ./flashtool: buffer page 2 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 3 ./flashtool: buffer page 3 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 4 ./flashtool: buffer page 4 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 5 ./flashtool: buffer page 5 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 6 ./flashtool: buffer page 6 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 7 ./flashtool: buffer page 7 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 8 ./flashtool: buffer page 8 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 9 ./flashtool: buffer page 9 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 10 ./flashtool: buffer page 10 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 11 ./flashtool: buffer page 11 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 12 ./flashtool: buffer page 12 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 13 ./flashtool: buffer page 13 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 14 ./flashtool: buffer page 14 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: writing page 15 ./flashtool: buffer page 15 does not exist - creating it ./flashtool: flushing buffers ./flashtool: flushing block 0 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 1 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 2 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 3 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 4 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 5 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 6 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 7 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 8 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 9 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 10 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 11 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 12 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 13 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 14 to ROM... verifying... done ./flashtool: flushing block 15 to ROM... verifying... doneThen I rebooted with the new ROM image, and verified that things were upgraded:
[root@cobalt /root]# cmos -c romrev 2.3.40Looks good, so far, but even with the latest Gen3 ROM, I still can only see 5.772Gb of my new disk.
Any other ideas? ~Patrick patrick n blackburn wrote:
Thanks, Gerald! I have the following ROM version: [root@cobalt RPMS]# cmos -c romrev 2.3.28I have never flashed the ROM on my Cobalt's before -- time to get the testbox out and give it a shot. I take it that this ROM version _only_ supports ATA33?I'll let the list know how it goes! ~Patrick Gerald Waugh wrote:On Fri, 30 Jan 2004, patrick blackburn wrote:(btw: I have searched the cobalt-users archives, Google, and tested on our other RaQ 3's, to no avail...) We have a Cobalt RaQ3i with a 15Gb HDD. I need to add additional storage, so I have installed a 40Gb HDD (hdb), but the RaQ will only add it through the webui as a 5Gb HDD. I know the OS sees the HDD in all it's glory: hda: ST315323A, 14652MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=29770/16/63, UDMA(33) hdb: WDC WD400BB-32AUA1, 38166MB w/2048kB Cache, CHS=77545/16/63, (U)DMA Even running fdisk from the command line only allows me to see a limited number of Cylinders (12009 instead of 77545): [root@cobalt /root]# fdisk /dev/hdb Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hdb: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 12009 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytesAny ideas on how to enable this HDD for full capacity additional storage?Upgrade the ROM!
