this smacks of the 8gig limit. Is your motherboard cabable? What boot manager
is causing bios to report an error? Is lilo the later version?
A quick check incidentally of discovering bios incompatibilties is to install
windoze. The cmos CAN dsicover the real size of the drive, but if the bios
cannot use ead, then windoze will limit that drive to 8gig no matter what.
