Subject: !!Warning!! UDMA and Fujitsu HD
>Hi
>
>I am having problems with a hard disk Fujitsu MPB3064AT UDMA and the
>kernel 2.0.34 (Red Hat 5.1 and Slackwere 3.5).
>
>Under this kernel, fdisk does not work correctly, if you have already
>the partitions you can format it (mke2fs), but if you check it
>afterwards
>(e2fsck -f) it appears corrupted inmediately. If you try to copy
>something
>in there ... corrupted.
>
>It seems that the new support included for UDMA in 2.0.34 is not
>compatible with this Fujitsu. I installed this distributions using an
>older
>kernel (2.0.31) and they worked ok.
>
>This happens also with hdparm, if you try to make it full UDMA, it
>inmediately gets corrupted and you loose everything.
>
>In the list of RedHat 5.1 I could find two more with exactly the same
>problem, one with the same Hard Disk but the other with a different one.
>
>I hope this helps

>Cheers
