Please don't talk vague useless garbage.
There is no entity called "Linux". If you mean "the 2.4.0 kernel
boot messages report 61 GB, fdisk 2.9s sees 32 GB, fdisk 2.10r sees 61 GB"
then say so. If you mean something else, say what you mean.
Precisely, with versions and everything.

Since you have a Maxtor, my old setmax should suffice for you, it can kill
the clip, and there is no reason to use ibmsetmax.c, that is a version for
IBM disks. There should not be any need to use other machines.

If something changed for recent Maxtor disks, we would like to know,
but only reliable, detailed reports are of any use.

I did a fresh install from linux-2.4.0.tar here and used the following
sequence:

>make mrproper
>cp ../.config-2.2.18
>make oldconfig
>make dep
>make bzImage
>make modules
>make modules_install

*** Stopped here due to errors***

Here is the errors on the latest clean install attempt(almost looks
like a type here with the two // rather than /) :
