I don't understand why lilo is doing this. I've never had this problem before.
I just repartitioned my drive and put linux on hda2. When I try to run lilo to boot linux from hda2 instead of hda1 it gives me this error about my cylinders. geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (2312 > 1023) I am aware that, for whatever reason, lilo won't look beyond cylinder 1023, the 540MB line that M$ drew out of ignorance years ago. (It might not have been Bill but I like blaming shit on him anyway.) Anyway. The point is that I took this into account and started hda2 at cylinder 817. I gave hda1 405MB, hda2 792MB, and hda3 is a 20MB rescue partition. So why in the hell does lilo report cylinder 2312 which I'm fairly sure is in hda3 when I'm setting up hda2 which starts at 817? I have used this same partition setup before without any trouble. Anyone have a clue? When is lilo going to recognise hard drives larger than 540MB? This is an ignorant limitation. Now that BIOS can read them when is lilo going to be updated? --Rick [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
