It's just an idea. :) Hmmm... my kernel (without the patch: 2.2.7-Stable as of 21 October 98) displays the following: ... wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Maxtor 90680D4> wd0: 6485MB (13281408 sectors), 13176 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <ST31720A> wd2: 1625MB (3329424 sectors), 3303 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S ... Which displays the name as you can see. Your WD drive should have a model, such as "WDC AC21600" or something remotely similar that you should see in your dmesg. - --- John Baldwin <jobaldwi@vt.edu> -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc Of course I'm sane.
