I'm not so sure that really matters anymore. I've a 15 gig (well, actually
more like 14.5 gigs, but close enough) drive installed in this machine,
while the BIOS thinks it's an 8 gig disk. I suppose I could just be getting
really lucky, but I just don't know. I did have to add the lba32 line into
my lilo.conf to get everything working, so I'm thinking that it wasn't just
luck. But I can't be 100% sure of that.
Uhh, let's see now. Running woody, updated regularly. LILO version is:
hal9000:~# lilo -V
LILO version 21.5-1 beta
The drive (from dmesg):
hda: WDC WD153AA-00BAA0, 14679MB w/2048kB Cache, CHS=1871/255/63, (U)DMA
So what's up with my box? *Am* I just getting really lucky that this works?
Am I likely to get bit in the ass by this some day? Or is the new lilo
really that capable?
