I'm trying to install a new hard drive into my trusty ol' empeg. It's a Toshiba MK6025GAS . I read somewhere someone else was having the exact same issue with a similar model drive, but no resolution was posted.
As it stands, I've verified it's not the cable. I can plug my old drive in and it starts right up, but the new drive i get some odd behaviour. I've tried all the vaious builder.upgrade images.

1. No matter what i do the drive is recognized as hdb. even forcing the master jumper, it still comes up hdb.
2. IRQ error:
hdb: TOSHIBA MK6025GAS, ATA DISK drive0x5411mp v0
empeg single channel IDE
hdb: TOSHIBA MK6025GAS, ATA DISK drive
hdb: TOSHIBA MK6025GAS, ATA DISK drive
hdb: TOSHIBA MK6025GAS, ATA DISK drive
hdb: TOSHIBA MK6025GAS, ATA DISK drive
hdb: TOSHIBA MK6025GAS, ATA DISK drive
ide0: unexpected interrupt, status=0xff, count=1
ide0 at 0x000-0x007,0x038 on irq 6
hdb: TOSHIBA MK6025GAS, 57231MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=7296/255/63
empeg-flash driver initialized

which prolly leads to
3. final failure:

Press Ctrl-A to enter pump...VFS: Cannot open root device 03:05
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05


I noticed that the voltage on the new drive is dc+5v 0.7a and the old one is dc+5v .55a

is that the issue? am i better off selling this drive, and getting a new one that has been proven to work?

I've long since replaced the original wallwart with new ones that were recommended from this board a few years ago...
