Something else has happened. This time the partition table seemed to have been currupted. I could not write a new partition table to the IDE disk. fdisk kept showing no partitions on /dev/hda. Then I had the idea to load the BIOS defaults for the MB, and I could suddenly see all partitions on /dev/hda with fdisk. To me it looks as if some parts of the BIOS of the main board has been overwritten (by the aic79xx driver?). The main board is a Tyan 2885 with 1 GB of RAM. -- Bjarne - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
