Hi,
the initio driver says in *_biosparam:
info_array[0] = pTcb->TCS_DrvHead;
info_array[1] = pTcb->TCS_DrvSector;
info_array[2] = (unsigned long)capacity / pTcb->TCS_DrvHead / pTcb- + >TCS_DrvSector;
That causes a nice divide-by-zero error when one of these
happens to contain the right values of garbage -- I just connected
a few disks to my SCSI card, fired it up, and got a segfault fdisk'ing
two of my four new shiny SCA drives. :-/
What should happen in this case?
Fall back to fake 32/16 values?
Return an error?
