Subject: 2.6 and IDE "geometry"
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2003 13:17:04 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031212131704.A26577@animx.eu.org> (raw)

Is there anyway to get kernel 2.6 to use the geometry the bios has for an
IDE drive?

I have a installation setup that installs a non-linux os and I partition the
drive under linux.  In 2.4 this has worked flawlessly, however, 2.6 reports
as # cylinders/16 heads/63 sectors.
