Dear all,
I tried to install linux (slackware 3.6 and redhat 5.2) in a 10G hard disk.
Knowing the 8M ide limit of linux, I specified the geometry of the HD
to the installation programs by entering
boot: vmlinuz hda=20961,15,63 (in slackware), and
boot: linux hda=20961,15,63 (in redhat).
Still both trials failed in fdisk, cfdisk and Druid.
They just couldn't write on the HD.
(P.S. I boot on CDs and failed also when not specifying the HD parameters.)
How can I get over this?
Thanks for your help in advance.
