Is actually Linux who doesn't read disk geometry from the BIOS.
Not really a Debian issue, more a kernel one. :)
Guys, sorry if someone already said it (I wasn't following this
thread), but, can't you tell the kernel (via boot parameters)
that you have a hdd located in controller X position X with X
geometry info, manually? To bypass BIOS recognition of it? This
should be documented in a HOWTO, Boot-Param I guess.
