Eithor your bios does not support disks over 528mb (> 1024 cyl's), or when fdisking your drive to create partitions fdisk and the bios did not agree on the cylinder re-mapping (the cludge that bios uses to address more than 1024 cyls, it lies and says it has fewer cylinders but more heads). From what I understand, one fix is to insure that the /boot partition lies completly in the first 1024 physical cylinders. You can also start fdisk giving it parameters to force the cylinder re-mapping to agree with the bios. (Maybe the same for LILO?) Having a recent MB and bios, I havn't run into this problem thou I'm using a 5.4gb ide drive. If you are using SCSI there may be other problems. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
