Found this in linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: ---8<---8<---8<--- hd= [EIDE] (E)IDE hard drive subsystem geometry Format: ,, ---8<---8<---8<--- And this in linux/Documentation/ide.txt: ---8<---8<---8<--- "hdx=cyl,head,sect" : disk drive is present, with specified geometry ---8<---8<---8<--- Nothing on ubd concerning geometry. Do I need the fake_ide or fakehd parameters in combination with a hdx=C,H,S?
