Hi,
I've tried building the ide driver modular and insmod it using an
initrd. The kernel boots just fine, but lilo complains:
bogomips root ~# lilo
Device 0x0300: Invalid partition table, 2nd entry
3D address: 1/0/262 (264096)
Linear address: 1/10/4175 (4209030)
I've also noticed that the fdisk output looks different depending on
modular vs. static ide, I suspect this is related. With a modular IDE
driver it looks like this:
bogomips root ~# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 79780 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 4176 2104483+ b Win95 FAT32
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(261, 254, 63) should be (261, 15, 63)
/dev/hda2 * 4176 68659 32499495 5 Extended
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(1023, 254, 63) should be (1023, 15, 63)
/dev/hda4 68659 79768 5598652+ a5 FreeBSD
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(1023, 254, 63) should be (1023, 15, 63)
/dev/hda5 4176 6264 1052226 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda6 6264 18759 6297448+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 18759 68659 25149726 83 Linux
With ide built-in statically fdisk prints this:
bogomips root ~# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 5005 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 262 2104483+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 * 263 4308 32499495 5 Extended
/dev/hda4 4309 5005 5598652+ a5 FreeBSD
/dev/hda5 263 393 1052226 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda6 394 1177 6297448+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 1178 4308 25149726 83 Linux
Any idea?
Gerd

What LILO version?
For many versions it will suffice to give LILO the linear or lba32 option.

What fdisk version? Make sure you have a recent one.
Clearly, the rest of the fdisk output is a consequence of the different
geometries. The kernel boot messages will probably tell what happened.
I must still read this part of the kernel source again to see what the
current status is.

22.1

There already is a lba32 option in lilo.conf ...
