| |
The kernel Harddisk detection seems to always detect LBA mode, even if it is turned off. IMHO this boot message should'nt be possible:
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM1280A, 1222MB w/76kB Cache, LBA, CHS=2484/16/63, DMA
In LBA mode the number of cylinders should'nt excced 1024. And in this particular case LBA is turned off in the BIOS. I dont know if this screws up lilo, but I am having trouble booting with lilo. It just stops whithout any "LILO" message (yes I have read the HOWTOs).
Using Linux 2.0.30 in latest Debian.
Best Regards
