The limit is 2.2TB, not 2TB, and it is a limitation of the MBR partition table scheme not a limitation of "fdisk". The limitation of "fdisk" is merely that it doesn't understand the EFI partition table scheme. It happily understands the BSD disklabel partitioning scheme, which has different limits to the MBR scheme.

As suggested elsewhere, run a generic HP laserjet driver for the prior model. |

Bug in Fedora? Posted: 14 Sep 2007 05:43 PM PDT On Sat, 15 Sep 2007 00:43:41 +0000, zeno wrote: What *was* the bug? Prehaps it was not a show-stopper at all. It's unlikely Fedora would ship an OS without working ethernet support. I'd try the latest Fedora or another distro after first giving a try at configuring the connection manually. Prehaps the bug is in the configurator itself. Try 'ifconfig' or 'ip' and 'route'. See the Ethernet-HOWTO, NET3-4-HOWTO, and possibly Networking-Overview-HOWTO if needed. How the connection is configured depends on if eth0 is linking to the internet or an intranet. If eth0 is used for the internet, then I think you'd use dhcp, else assigning an internal address with ifconfig and making a route to the peer is enough. I don't use ethernet for my Internet connection, so I'm not familiar with the dhcp commands, but ifconfig/route is what configured the interface I'm using right now. It's even worse than I thought ;) -- [** America, the police state **] Whoooose! What's that noise?

GRUB problem (double windows + linux) Posted: 11 Sep 2007 01:48 PM PDT Hi Stef, Thanks for your reply. The disk numbering and naming are correct, although they are confusing. It took me quite a long time to find out how to set up grub.conf, since the partition numbering changes during the boot process (as explained) when I start linux (gentoo). Again, when I do a search in grub during booting (e.g. for boot.ini) I get a different hd- numbers as when I;m in linux (and start grub manually). I guess this is caused by the combination motherboard (asus a7n8x) and the sata module. My IDE disks are on the same controller. My SATA disks (yes, you are right, there is a fourth disk) are NOT recognised a sdx, but as hde and hdg. The reason why I use the hide/unhide lines are that I do not want Windows to see the other windows disks/partitions. They are not essential for the booting process and have no effect on the current behaviour (hanging windows). When I remove the rootnoverify lines, I get a grub-error while booting. When I set the bios to boot HD1 (has windows), winXP is started up correctly. So effectively the windows systems are viable and can be started. When I telll the bios to boot my 1st SATA disk (which holds grub in the mbr) and continue to run windows (pressing the F8 key) I do get the windows screen with the debug options and the boot options of boot.ini are displayed. So Grub does find the right partition. However when I then select a boot option and ENTER, immediately the PC hangs and I have to do a hard-reset. I've also refreshed the mbr's of both IDE disks, but no succes. The boot.ini's of the windows partitions point to the 1st partition of the first hd on the first controller (which in fact is correct because of the re-mapping (in Grub). I'm still puzzled. Especially since this worked for years. I'm 100% certain that linux and grub did not change. I'm not certain about windows (you never know...). And finally it could be a hardware problem. Could it be a hw problem with the ide-controllers? Mike On 16 sep, 02:50, Stefan Patric <com> wrote: |
