I've just compiled up a 2.4.0 kernel without a hitch -- until I get to issuing the lilo command for the new configuration. This gives me a geo_comp_addr too big error. The hd hasn't changed since last I booted with 2.2.18. It's been the size it /hda1 has been the size it is for some time, actually. But 2.4.0 doesn't like it. If I comment out the new kernel and execute lilo, everything is OK. Is there anything that I can do short of sizing hda1 down? That doesn't sound like progress! -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) janina at afb.net (202) 408-8175 http://www.afb.org/gov.html The invention of the printing press has been named the crowning achievement of the past millennium.
