Hard drive issue >4gb

[mike-]

I have some issues.

Firstly, i cant handle files above 32 or 16 megs, this could make sense as i have 32 megs of ram, but i cant wget above 32 megs nor ftp, and i cant archive with tar above 32, but i with lha, 16 seem to be the limit.

My second issue is with the hard drive, it refuses to see more then 8 gigs of the 60 in there, this wasnt a problem before with 3.1 but im now using bb2 i figure re-defining the drive might work but that brings me back to my first issue, as i need to back things up.. Anyone got a take on this?

Its worth noting that im using blizkick with speedyide and speedychip and a few others.

About the same setup here,tho i've tricked around with wb3.1 to have it basically become 3.9 without all the fuss. this all started when i fired up toolbox3.9 and nuked my drive

Yeah i have that copied to a folder here, i'll be using that once i get this file handling issue sorted, i think theres one on aminet too tho

The file problem seems to be blizkick :\

Thanks, just as i crossed blizkick off the list of suspects =)

Blizzard 060, 1200's ide, latest sfs, scsi.device 40.12 atm, because the bb2 scsi update crashes the thing. This will be updated and patched soon enough. I reinstalled the system, after some misbehaving lha took out the system partition (this time) and i can now handle files larger then ram. But i had a weird issue where i couldnt place the first partition on the first cylinder.

Framiga, aha thanks, that ha me very puzzled for a while.

i've now extracted, patched, and loaded the scsi.device, but check4gb still says >4g, no? is this because the partition isnt above 4gb? or because it cant take it? fixhddsize worked tho, thanks Thomas, your a genius.

For some strange reason however, i had to leave out the NOREBOOT part when loading the scsi.device. tried loadmodule before blizkick, stuffing the scsi.device in blizkick modules, and everything else i could think of. version scsi.device said 40.12 no matter what

Great, should be good then, experienced a speed up aswell, which is always welcome.

Different problem now however, loadmodule seems to nullify the setpatch amigaos rom update somewhat, version reports back 40.68 after loadmodule, but scsi.device 43.45. With NOREBOOT i get kick 45.47 and scsi 40.12.

Seems i have something to ponder tomorrow, all the os39-bb2 modules seem to be firmly stuck in there, except i cant run 3.9 apps, like finder. Easiest thing would probably be to stuff the patched scsi.device into the 3.1 kick image and continue passing the skipromupdates "Scsi.device"
