I recently installed a Seagate LP drive in an Atom ICH7 based system. The drive is showing up dmesg but not available in format. Is this a known problem? Is there a work around for it? -- Brandon High : bhigh at freaks.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Apparently 32-bit kernels can''t support drives over 1GB. -B -- Brandon High : bhigh at freaks.com
For those wanting more details, it''s in a flag day from 2009/9/11: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+on/2008091102 FreeNAS worked fine with the system and drives, which made for a nice fallback plan. -B -- Brandon High : bhigh at freaks.com

If you use ''e'' in grub to alter the boot line to replace $ISADIR with ''amd64'' does it come up 64-bit and work? That''s the fix I recall. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It''s an N280, which doesn''t support 64-bit at all. I have a second system that has an Atom 330, which is detected as 64-bit without any extra settings.
