Hi all.
I can't get my Reveal ST3660A 545MB HD to mount correctly under Linux.  
It is a slave drive and when I mount it and "ls", I get a screen of 
garbage and have to reset the screen.  FDISK also reports that nothing 
starts or begins where it should.  The BIOS doesn't support 545MB so I 
have a software driver that loads at startup that let's me use all of the 
space.  Linux however won't give me anything on the drive.  I've checked 
the HowTo's and /usr/src/linux/drives/block/README.* for tips but haven't 
found anything.  What have you others done to make this work.  Here's 
what the kernel tells me on boot:
hdb;  ST3660A, 520MB w/ 120KB Cache, LBA, CHS=3919/16/17, MaxMult=16
The actual geometry it 1057/16/63 but it won't work to pass that info on 
at startup.  What can I do short of buying a new system BIOS?  Any help 
and suggestion welcome.
