I have Debian on a laptop with a custom 2.4.20 kernel and although everything is working fine, 'fdisk -l /dev/hda' spits out a bunch of errors: "Partition N does not end on cylinder boundary:". I think this is because the running kernel is detecting different cylinder, head, sector values. dmesg shows CHS=2432/255/63 when running my custom kernel yet the default debian kernel off cd#1 (bf24 with 2.4.18 kernel) shows CHS=2584/240/63. The physical drive CHS = 16383/15/63 and there doesn't seem to be a way to specify any options in the BIOS. I believe the CHS=2584/240/63 is correct because both Debian woody cd#1 and a Slackware 8.1 cd report this when I boot them and run fdisk. I first thought it was a lilo issue but playing with options there had no effect. It appears to be something different in my custom kernel. I went back though my .config but didn't see anything obvious. Also googled for a while with no luck. Anyone else experience this or know of a kernel option that would affect this? -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
