[off topic] Solaris x86 2.7 and Western Digital 8.4G IDE HD
Hi!
I just bought Western Digital 8.4G IDE HD with intention to install
Solaris on it. I installed it as secondary master in addition to another
HD + CD on primary ide controler. During Solaris installation boot kernel
reported warnings about timeout on new HD. Afterwards installation program
failed to create fdisk partition. Disk seems to work with Linux and NT.
No warnings during boot up. I created couple of fdisk partions, scandisked
and fscked it before and after I wrote and read old disk's contents on it
with both OSes. All without any visibale problem.
What do you think?
