A4000 IDE HDD issue
I have a continous issue with a HDD in an A4000. It is configured, partitioned and was in use since years. It has boot partitions besides with the non-bootable ones, in the IDE bus. The machine recognizes it well, I can see all partitions with no issues in the Early Startup. When I boot up the WB (OS3.9) and wanna start the HDToolBox, the util starts with searching for the drives attached to the machine, and my system freezes. I can't get into the partitioning part or anything else, although I'd like to modify things on that drive. Anyone experienced immediate crash of HDToolbox?

Try (temporarily) removing stuff from devs: You can restrict the device scanning by tool types. Askdevice=NO will make it just scan the driver given in scsi_device_name I don’t think Scsi_max_address has any effect on IDE, but you could always try |

Of course it has. HDToolbox does not know whether it is SCSI or IDE. It just opens the various units on the .device driver consecutively and stops at a bad return code or if MAX_ADDRESS has been reached. Same for MAX_LUN, makes sense to set this to 0 for IDE because IDE does not support LUNs.
