Subject: BIOS setup needed for LBA48?
Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2003 03:34:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3E31F7B0.7090606@stesmi.com> (raw)
Hi.
Let's assume a certain IDE controller does LBA48.
Let's at the same time assume the BIOS doesn't know jack
about LBA48.
Let's then assume that I can get a kernel to boot on it,
what method I use doesn't matter. The BIOS doesn't lock up
or anything but it doesn't use more than the fabled 137GB.
Can the Linux Kernel then use the full drive (160GB/250GB/whatever)
even though the BIOS doesn't? (LBA48)
That's question number 1.
Question 2: Does the nForce chipset handle LBA48?
They are related but please answer question 1 even if question 2
is "no" :)
I tried looking for the answers myself but couldn't find a definite
answer. If it's plain in sight somewhere, please point me in the right
direction.
// Stefan
