I have an old computer that requires Dynamic Drive Overlay software as the BIOS 
doesn't
support the full capacity of the hard disk I'm using. This computer currently 
dual boots
Windows and Debian lenny. I'd like to update the Debian installation to squeeze 
or testing.

Debian lenny uses kernel 2.6.26 which supports Dynamic Drive Overlays via 
kernel boot
options to the ide driver. I'm using the option hda=remap.  These options were
removed from the ide driver after kernel 2.6.26

Is there a way of using the kernels in squeeze or testing with Dynamic Drive 
Overlays ?
