Thanks to your advice, I checked the spec of HD again and found that BIOS
has autodetected the wrong geometry. And lawson you are right that the
second parameter is 16:
HD spec says CHS=16383,16,63
BIOS finds CHS=20961,15,63
I told the first set of parameters to slackware and installation is OK.
Anyway Redhat still refused to install. The CHS thing is indeed weird.
During the slackware installation, I tried different CPU speed.
"Segmentation errors" appear when the CPU speed is high. 83 x 4 = 333MHz
worked. 95 x 3.5 = 333MHz and higher didn't. How come and what are
segmentation errors?
And, the v(erifty) command of fdisk said some partitions are overlapping
each other. (I use fdisk itself to make the partitions). Does that harm
and any suggested solution? (Please excuse my newbie questions)
