I remember some HD size limitation was removed only recently (2.2.11-14??)
so you kernel may be too old. I do not remember which size limitaion it was
though, 20 GB doesn't seem so big nowadays.
Maybe Alan Cox' diary mentions when exactly it happened, it should be easy to
apply the patch separately if you can find it in linux-kernel ml archive.
