kernel sees 80 GB, so that's ok. But node the partitions:
hda1 hda2.
So partition 1 is 18 GB, don't know how much partition 2 is (could be 60
GB, or only a part).
Use fdisk /dev/hda to revise your partition table.

I don't know what you mean by this. You want to show that your other 2.4
kernel doesn't have a 18 GB limit with a 40 GB HD? Well, I guess this
harddisk has one big parition then.

so check your partition table with fdisk.
