Lilo warning



Just wondering if anyone could tell me what this message means

"Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 and function 0x48 return different 
head/sector geometries for BIOS drive 0x80"

I have just installed Woody on my laptop using the bf24 kernel with 
hda1 as a windows partition, hda2 as a swap partition and hda3 as root 
with a reiserfs filesystem. After editing lilo.conf to add the "apm=on" 
and "video=vga16:off" I ran lilo and got that warning message. 
Everything appears to work fine though. I did get that message once 
before when I first installed a 2.4.18 kernel on this laptop but had no 
problems. I did a search then on google and couldn't find anything that 
I could make sense of but as everything appeared to work ok I didn't 
worry about it. Thought I might ask though if anyone could tell me just 
what it means.

Thanks for any help

John
