[vdr] 160GB disks - ATA/133

[Matt Tovey <matt.tovey@sgi.com>]

I guess that other people out there must also have 160GB IDE disks
installed? Having just bought one, I've just become aware of the 128GB
limit for ATA disks. ;) 

As far as I can see, the only fix is to buy an ATA/133 controller. This
is a proprietary fix (Maxtor), and not part of the ATA standard, right?
I guess Serial-ATA is going to be the long-term fix...

My question to you all - has anybody else got the Promise ATA/133 TX2
controller card installed and working under Linux? 

From what I can find on the Internet, it ought to be supported by Linux,
but I'm not sure what kernel version I need. What kernel version do you
have? Did you patch it yourself with the patch from the Promise website
(for kernel 2.4.1[89])? And special kernel options enabled to get it
working?

Thanks,

Matt
