Seagate
Dear Sir / Madam,
I have to install a ST336807LW hard-disk in a Sun Ultrasparc 5 workstation (that does not support LBA) wih Solaris 2.6. as operating system. The disk is recognised, but I cannot mount it because when I execute the "format" command I receive an error message and a "core" file is installed in the directory "/dev/rdsk". Could you please tell me what is the reason for this? I have installed other Seagate disks and the workstation has been working fine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I want to ask a few questions, first.
Please gather the following items of information and paste them back into this discussion thread.
... run the following commands:
<b>uname -a
prtconf -V</b>
describe the following:
are there any adapter cards installed?
are there any external peripherals, and what are those peripherals?
That will help us to begin to understand the computer system a little bit better.
By the way, LBA has no relationship with what may be occurring.
That's a PC thing.

That is why I asked for the other info.
U-5 with external SCSI or with a lash-up funky kit ?
SS-5 and trying to use SCA interfaced disks ?
Never mind that Seagate doesn't list a ST336<font color="indigo"><b><u>8</u></b></font>07LW drive in their product line, per their web site.
Too little accurate info to provide any response.
Let's wait for those details.

it is a 68 pin drive..
what other drive type could a SS-5 use? they do take 80 pin, SCA drives...
I am just being picky...
