Recently I bought a new 2 Gig hard drive (Conner 2160S) which
is connected to a Adaptec 1542C host adapter.

Unfortunately, ESIX doesn't like the BIOS mapping in the
Adaptec for > 1 g drives. I am completely unable to install
ESIX 4.0.4.1 when this option is enabled. When I don't use
this option (i.e. 64 heads) then ESIX installs, but using
more than 1024 cyls causes funny calculations of the
filesystems you want to create.

What is this error caused by? ESIX? Adaptec?
BTW, the BIOS revision in my 1542C is v1.01.

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Robert
