OK, I'm looking for some help in getting Linux to recognize the 10GB HD on
my Dell Latitude C600 laptop. Currently, it's reporting (parted) 8.4GB,
because lilo is apparently using C:H:S instead of LBA32 addressing. I've
got LBA32 in the lilo.conf file. I've run lilo from both my emergency
backup partition and floppy, same result. As a result, the upper 1.6GB is
not
addressable/usable. Anyone have ideas as to how to get it to work (and I
did check linux-laptops.net, all the C600 reports there just say "use
LBA32 mode," without details on how to get it into that)?
Some info:
Model: Dell Latitude C600
BIOS: A19
CPU: Pentium III/600MHz
Memory: 128MB
HD: IDE, unknown manufacturer (internal with system)
Distro: Red Hat 7.1/Ximian updates
Kernel (multiple, same problem with all): 2.2.18, 2..2.18 w/Win4Lin
updates, 2.2.18 w/Win4Lin & Devfs, 2.4.17, 2.4.2, 2.4.7 w/VMWare, 2.4.4
Lilo: 21.4.4-13 (Red Hat/Ximian RPM)
parted: 1.4.7-2 (Red Hat/Ximian RPM)
Devfsd: 2.4.3-12 (Red Hat/Ximian RPM)
Again, any suggestions/help appreciated.
