says you have a 60GB drive...
your bios on the mb w/ your p130 cpu probably does not support 32MB+ disks
or something
- dont forget to tell lilo to use "lba" instead of "linear" mode
you have to tell linux that that drive is 60GB by specifying its
c/h/s as defined in "RawCHS=16383/16/63"
- but you probably wont be able to boot from it... donno ..
just depends on how picky those old bios is
it also says you're running in *mdma2 ....
you should reset your disk to be ATA-100 ( hdparm -X69 ... )
your accounting folks probably want to know the serial number of the disk
:-)
