Linux 2.4.1 Large Drives Patch?
I am using a Cobalt RAQ 4 (i386) with Linux 2.4.1. Is there a patch for this that will allow drives larger than 137GB please?

Linux 2.4.1
Is there a logical and compelling reason to use a vulnerable, deprecated kernel version instead of current 2.4.33 which does support large drives w/o probs? |
Not sure if I can upgrade it so that it still works on the (Sun) Cobalt RAQ 4. Can you advise?
Have no Linux knowledge (Solaris sysadmin) but want the RAQ 4 to work correctly and have large hard drives. |

In this case appears to not be a kernel problem but a HW limitation, the Cobalt Hacking FAQ says: Quote:

Yes, I have read that and others.
I have fitted a Promise Ultra IDE adapter card into the RAQ that is just fine with large IDE disks. I tested it on Windows and NetBSD. It's just the Linux that is letting me down here. Can it be patched/fixed? |

Haven't seen anything specific patch-wise for 2.4.1. Review kernel Changelogs and experiment ;-p |
