Update:
I have a few other Ultra 5's that load and run 2.6 just fine with the Seagate
ST320420A 20GB hard drive. The apparent difference is the type of ATA drive.
The ST320011A is an ATA100 and the ST320420A is an ATA66.
Thanks again to all those who have already answered.

am trying to load 2.6 5/98. I keep getting a bad label error. The label
reports one amount (the correct one) of cylinders and the disk reports a
smaller amount. 2.6 tries to install only to fail mounting the file system
upon reboot. I believe that 2.6 cannot read the geometry of this particular
disk. I have found a patch for the disk at Tadpole but it is an OS package. Is
there any other workaround for this as a prepatch?
