Chaintech 5TDM2

[Michał]

Hi there !

I've got a quiestion to ask.
Is there any possibility that Chaintech 5TDM2 will be supported by
LinuxBIOS ??
I have a problem with 32GB HDD capacity limit, and turning off HDD in
BIOS and booting Linux from floppy doesn't suit me.
Do you have any ideas??

Thx for any help.

What is the limit?  Does the BIOS freeze when the HDD is enabled in
BIOS?  Have you checked for a newer BIOS from chaintech?
What about a 32G clip jumper on the HDD, or a small crappy hdd to boot
from?

Yes, BIOS freezes while trying to detect HDD (it does not if HDD id
disabled)
...and as for the clip jumper now it's wired
...there's no newer BIOS, i have the newest (may 1998)
...additional hdd to boot from - yes you're right I'll do so if there'll
be no other way ;)

PS. Sorry for all those polish stuff :]
