Hi,

We have had problems installing an IBM 36GB disk on a redhat 6.1 system,
with Adaptec, here are the details:

Did anyone manage to install large IBM scsi disks with Adaptec???

Note: the machine currentlly has two 18GB disks. We could not install a
36GB disk in place of the second 18GB disk,
there is no hardware problem, the scsi controller formated the disk and
windows also had no problem, It reported a failure
at kernel booting. Unfortunatly I could not get the error messege.

here is the boot log from the current configuration showing the driver
wer'e usuing..
