I'm sure that even with the BIOS limitation to 1024 cylinders, which is long time obsolete, it was possible to use much larger drives than recognized by the BIOS. The only limitation was that kernel and initrd must be within first 1024 cylinders. That was usually assured by setting small boot partition in the begining of the drive, up to the 1023 cylinder (numbering is starting with 0 ). That is actually where separate boot partition has its purpose.
Isn't a separate /boot also required when using LVM or software RAID? -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
