Hi Rob,

| Is that all it says?  Give us the EXACT output.  Also, make sure you're
| running it as root.

Yep! - *NO* output :-( (and yes I'm root)

dgeorge>fdisk -l /dev/hda
dgeorge>echo $?
0
dgeorge>

 | I know you said you tried "hda=1826,240,63", but I suspect you did it
| wrong, because it's the only known explanation for your problem. Try it
| again, something like this:
|
|    LILO: linux hda=1826,240,63

Yes, I started linux in single user mode:

LILO: linux hda=1826,240,63 single


|Once it's booted, try fdisk again. If it still doesn't work, run this
|command and send us the output:
|
|    hdparm -i /dev/hda

Here tis:

/dev/hda:
Model=IBM-DCYA-214000, FwRev=CYAIA81F, SerialNo=EW0EW040
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs }

DblWordIO=no, maxPIO=2(fast), DMA=yes, maxDMA=2(fast)
CurCHS=1826/240/63, CurSects=1011810540, LBA=yes, LBAsects=27609120
tDMA={min:120,rec:120}, DMA modes: sword0 sword1 sword2 mword0 mword1
mword2
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, PIO modes: mode3 mode4

| Also send the exact output of fdisk. And, if you can, run fdisk under
| strace and send the last 20 lines of output.

Here is the complete output of fdisk -l /dev/hda
