[ltp] Accessing >8GB on 600E

[Heiko Huettel]

Hi,

i have used the same Method for Redhat 6.1, but everything gets better.
;-)) After crashing my Linux (do not ask why), i have installed Redhat 6.2
beta , with a 2.2.15 Kernel (yes, it is a 2.2.15) and the Installer gets
all the values korrekt ... I have also noticed that other recent
Distributions with Kernels above 2.2.13 , recognize the HD korrekt. 
Redhat 6.2 is a fine distribution .... Everything works out of the box,
Pcmcia, APM, X, Irda ..... It should be a pretty cool Distri for the
Thinkpad ...
