Hi,
First the specs:
kernel 2.0.30 on a INTEL Triton II motherboard.
IBM Deskstar 3 - 3.24 GB ATA-3 drive.

Fdisk reports the right logical parameters:
16 heads, 6296 cylinders, 63 sectors.

This is my third drive in the system, so it's on my second IDE bus, first
drive. I have 2 partitions, a 64MB swap, the remaining a native linux
partition.

I run mkfs.ext2 (1.10) and get a segfault.
