You probably have an old BIOS. Old bios is known not to recognize HD over 
528M, unless special measures, such as LBA, are incoperated.
Besides, I think that DOS would not recognize a partition that is over 2.1G.

I use Linux with a HD that the BIOS sees as LBA.

Does all this BIOS/DOS problems are causing problems with Linux ?
