[ltp] RH 6 on a 770z networking problems

[Black, Chris]

Ok, now that I can get linux to see my 14.1 gig hard drive, how should I set
up partitions to see the whole drive?

Dear Chris,

Yes, you can setup Linux such that it recognizes the 14.1 G disk in its
entirety. Use the boot parameter: "hda=1826,240,63" or put the following
in /etc/lilo.conf and don't forget to run lilo afterwards:

   In my /etc/lilo.conf I have:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/maduro-2.2.10
	label=linux
	root=/dev/hda2
	read-only
	# This gives 128x48 consoles using VESA FB mode:
	vga=792
	# Necessary for 14.1G disk and >64M RAM:
	append="hda=1825,240,63 mem=127M"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
	label=good
	root=/dev/hda2
	read-only
	append="hda=1825,240,63"
other=/dev/hda1
	label=dos
	table=/dev/hda

I am not sure whether 1826 would work s well; officially it should, but I am
using the number of cylinders as reported by Partition Magic.
