We tried as Kyle's recommendation, but it didn't work. We tried this on Kernel-2.6.21 and Kernel-2.6.20.10. We added libata.ignore-hap=1 on Grub config, and added on modprob.conf. But after rebooting, we issued the command, "fdiks -l /dev/sda", but still we can't see the whole disk. We just saw the disk area except hpa area. We want to see the whole disk to use it fully. .
