Are there really people who want to run a newer 2.4 or a 2.6 kernel,
who have disks that do not support LBA mode?  CHS will never address
more than 32GB of the drive (unless you use vendor unique
implementations) and heck, most companies don't even build drives that
small anymore...  CHS is very messy, LBA is so much simpler.   Can we
just stick with that?
