Honored ContributorThanks for the quick response, Dave.
I had tried the partitioning earlier and had no luck. The parmeters that fdisk asks for are not quite the same as the ones in the example, this bugs me. When I am partitioning it asks me for sector start/stop rather than cylinder. I get the same error with modprobe. Here is the full terminal dump: Sending discover... Sending discover...
