Actually, under the circumstances I usually found with the old
computers I
adminster (amateur), the ol' BIOS do not force a large disk towards 528 Mb,
but there is a slight difference, and I prefer to apply the Ontrack patch.
I'm used to it, and I applied it without problems (thanks for the reference
towards that HOWTO, man. I read it some weeks ago, but I'll reread it, too).
Regretablily I have different suspicions and I still think that perhaps
is
just for using old kernel and G/L fdisk versions. For all interested
readers towards my really boring problems, it's:
Taken by pure luck some months ago in ZDNet:
|Then, during your Linux install, use the "advanced" feature of the Linux
fdisk |partitioning tool to synch everything up. Make sense? Unless you
have Linux |Kernel version 2.2.0 or higher and fdisk v2.9i or later, you'll
get spurious |warnings about overlapping partitions
I'll look the changelog of fdisk in its last version.
Thank you again, Shaul.
