Even Adaptec? That's stupid of them. People, send bug reports to your BIOS vendors. By now, i've only seen it on HP systems (Netserver and Vectra), but they ship with a hacked BIOS anyway. Btw., BSD/OS must suffer the same problems, they also know a mode that's comparable to our DD mode (and i was planning to make our kernel recognize their drives). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
