How can I modify the kernel to be able to create unlimited partition
on a single drive. The reason for the question is I want to use one of
my box as a storage server for fast access to the be able to create my
RAID across all drives all the time so I want to slice the drives into
multiple 2GB partition and used that in the RAID then use LVM to put
it together. With SCSI drive I m stock with 15 partitions and with IDE
20. Any help is appreciated.

You can't in any sensible way.

Sounds like you want to use LVM to create lots of PEs, then tie them
together into RAIDs.  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/tyingittogether.html
may be helpful.

       (perhaps they can't afford it ?)
