Thanks to Peter Stokes Casper Dik Mike's List Tim Chipman i was already afraid of this... the limitation lies in the hw. the ultra 5 uses 'cheap' and older ide-controller based on a 24-bits addressing, limit's this to about 137GB. If ever Sun decided to use newer controllers in their base line (ide-base systems) that allows 48-bits addressing the problem will be solved... so the other solution would be using scsi disks.. so whoever buys an ide disk for a Ultra 5 make sure it's not beyond 120GB (tobe on the save site.) I think this applies as well to any Sun system based on IDE... a other soltion is scsi :), there are scsi card that will allow booting a scsi disk in a Ultra 5.. hope this information may help other... -- Kind regards, Luc Suryo _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Feb 17 18:17:32 2003
