Hi

I've got this dying mobo-cpu problem on my router. The machine seems to work for 
about 20 minutes, then freezes. Storm damage I think.

Anyhow, I'm putting the disks into a new box, which happens to be AMD where the 
current cpu is a pentium.

I can't compile a suitable kernel on the machine itself in readiness for the new
box with the same hdd. So I have compiled one on another box, and sent it and
its System.map over.

I get this warning when I run lilo:

                  Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 and function 0x48 return different
                  head/sector geometries for BIOS drive 0x80

                  Added 2.6.3-iii *
                  Added 2.6.3-amd

What's the drill here? I seem to remember doing this sort of thing before
without any problem.

Any ideas. I'm tempted to give it a go anyway, but surely there must be a way.

Nick

(Sorry if this goes out twice, router died again while sending the first
time).
