Just give your BIOS a geometry it accepts and pass the Kernel the real geometry, using 'hdx=cylinders,heads,sectors' (where x is the drive, in your case most probably hda) or by putting the line append="hda=<cylinder>,<head>,<sectors>" into your lilo.conf at the appropriate place. The kernel will just ignore the BIOS and work with the disc like a charm. Philipp
