The module compiles fine, it just won't load. When I attempt to run "insmod hpt302.o" it give me the following error message: "The module you are trying to load (hpt302.o) is compiled with a gcc version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are using in compiled with a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known not to work." Also, my original question was more focused on why the geometry was different between the two identical drives. I find this confusing for a couple of reasons. First, it seems that the disk marked as the boot disk (/dev/hda) would be most likely to cause this problem, but it does not. Second, it seems as though the problem should be consistent for each controller, but it is not. There are two distinctly different behaviors among the two disks (/dev/hde & /dev/hdg) attached to the HPT controller. From what I see, it seems that the HPT controller is treating the 80GB disk differently than the 40GB disk.
