Hello, sorry that I'm asking.. don't know if this is a support mailing

I have been trying to install linux on my indy today. First I tried to use
the ext2 partition, /dev/sdb1, with no success. THe kernel says:

sdb : sector size 0 reperted, assuming 512.
SCSI device sdb: hdwr sector= 512 bytes. Sectors= 1  [0 MB] [0.0 GB]

Hm.  The 0 MB is what's worrisome, since the kernel doesn't know what kind
of disk you have.  Can you partition and format that disk properly under
Irix?

I'd certainly suggest you use a different kernel.  Uh, I think there's a
.82 kernel kicking around on ftp.linux.sgi.com.  If not, I'll make sure
there is.
