I know this. I am asking why Redhat would fail to install when this mode is
active. I had LBA set, I partitioned, install failed miserably. I then
changed it to normal, and it still failed -- I now know that you can't just
go changing this and expect things to just work. What I really want to know
is why the initial install would fail because LBA mode was active. Is this
not supported by Redhat/Linux alltoghether? And for my other question: Do
you think that if I disable this (LBA), re-format, and install, everything
wil go smoothly? Thanks...and sorry for sounding like an idiot who doesn't
know what the hell he's talking about. I've just had a really long day.

Re-read the part about changing the IDE configs after
partitioning. You can't change from LBA to normal mode
after partitioning and formatting, EVEN IN LINUX and expect
things to work correctly.
