Dynamic Drive Overlay software with squeeze or testing



I have an old computer that requires Dynamic Drive Overlay software as the BIOS doesn't
support the full capacity of the hard disk I'm using. This computer currently dual boots
Windows and Debian lenny. I'd like to update the Debian installation to squeeze or testing.

Debian lenny uses kernel 2.6.26 which supports Dynamic Drive Overlays via kernel boot
options to the ide driver. I'm using the option hda=remap.  These options were
removed from the ide driver after kernel 2.6.26
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commitdiff;h=232595eaff951e96cabe5e85fed35f66b72ff51e

Is there a way of using the kernels in squeeze or testing with Dynamic Drive Overlays ?
