Well, the kernel output says the drive was identified as 128GB drive (ouch!). When I tried to run sysinstall, it triggered segmentation fault. Well, that ain't a problem, as this box is being planned to upgraded to 4.x. What I'm worried is DPT and the big drive. Since DPT was swallowed by Adaptec, I don't expect much from them. (I didn't have much luck with Adaptec tech support for few years now.) I'd like to know if DPT+180GB behavior is an anomaly on my setup or is it a known problem? I'm hoping there are good numbers of people here who had BTDT with DPT SRIV to give some comments...?
