Re: Which Kernal supports over 6.0 GB HD

[Philippe Andersson <philippe_andersson@ste.scitex.com>]

Hi folks,

I may be missing the point here, but it looks to me that if you use the
hdparm utility (DOS utility - you'll have to put it on a DOS boot
floppy) to check the drive geometry as reported by the BIOS, then go to
Linux and check that fdisk uses the same geometry parameters, you can
verify that your linux isn't missing any part of your disk. Right ?

Hope this helps.
