Re: Re: problem with hard disk geometry

Hi.

The hardware is a PIV 2.8 ( is not "so" old  :)  )

I've made my homework ( http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/Large-Disk.html 
) and AFAIK, all that
"CHS" stuff is not applyable for modern hard drives and it seems that 
Linux just ignores it.

Also, I modprobed "edd" linux module which gives me information about 
the drives ( /sys/firmware/edd )
and the CHS staff used for both is the exactly the same.

By now, I've changed the CHS of the new disk using fdisk and I've made 
the partitions. No problems by the moment.
I will see what happens when I reboot the machine tomorrow.
