I have done a full install on  2.1gb drive and everything peachy. Added a 4.3gb fujitsu mpc3043at (which apparently was a big problem with earlier kernels), which I had to set up in bios manually.

ls /proc/ide

hda hdd ide0 ide1 sis

cfdisk /dev/hdd gives a fatal error: cannot read disk drive

do I need to add an entry into /etc/fstab?

or...

and while I'm here, the drive is setup as slave on primary ide, so shouldn't linux be seeing it as /dev/hdb? I have a spare ibm 3.2 here, I will try that in the meantime.

Problem solved, sort of. I set up the ibm drive as master and cd as slave on secondary ide channel (don't ask why, not sure myself).  


ls /proc/ide

hda hdc hdd ide0 ide1 sis


Dsl sees it as hdc and cfdisk /dev/hdc works. So it looks like the problem in linux with that particular fujitsu drive is ongoing.
