In article <20080409212840.GB2160@csclub.uwaterloo.ca> you wrote:

Unfortunatelly there is also bios' view of the geometry, which is especially
a problem for boot loaders. Just another hint:

# lilo -T geom

    bios=0x00, cylinders=80, heads=2, sectors=18
        (  1.44Mb         2,880 sectors)        C:H:S supported (PC bios)

BIOS reports 2 hard drives
    bios=0x80, cylinders=527, heads=255, sectors=63     vol-ID: 2C731DD1
        (  4.33Gb     8,467,199 sectors)        LBA32 supported (EDD bios)
    bios=0x81, cylinders=527, heads=255, sectors=63
        (  4.33Gb     8,467,199 sectors)        LBA32 supported (EDD bios)

(um yes my system is somewhat outdated, thats an adaptec scsi bios.
