Is actually Linux who doesn't read disk geometry from the BIOS. Not really a Debian issue, more a kernel one. :) Guys, sorry if someone already said it (I wasn't following this thread), but, can't you tell the kernel (via boot parameters) that you have a hdd located in controller X position X with X geometry info, manually? To bypass BIOS recognition of it? This should be documented in a HOWTO, Boot-Param I guess. Jordi S. Bunster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
