You could always try the following:
autodetect the drive in the bios and write down the cylinders, heads, and
sectors, then, select a user defined drive type and half the cylinders and
double the heads.
3036cyl, 16hd, 64 sectors = 1.5g
1518cyl, 32hd, 64 sectors = 1.5g
759cyl, 64hd, 64 sectors = 1.5g
FYI, the formula is CYL * HEAD * (SECT * 512)

Thats not true. Its a bit complicated, but I have gotten it to
work rather well on a Compaq Deskpro XL (old machine)
Every version, debian, suse, redhat and slackware could be installed
without any problem.
I have used slackware earlier and am now using Redhat 5.2 exclusively
Of course, the results are varying depending on the exact hardware that
was optioned at time of purchase.

you may need to add:

to /etc/lilo.conf or type it in on the lilo prompt or on the loadlin
command-line (depending on how you boot)
check the lilo man pages for the "append" option and its format. I'm a

Subject: 16/32bpp with CL5428 card under Linux?
Date: 23 Dec 1998 22:13:36 GMT
Could someone please help me with the following?
I installed Linux (Slackware 3.5) on a 468DX2/66 with 24MB RAM and a
Vesa Local Bus videocard based on Cirrus Logic's CL-GD5428 chipset.
XFree86 works reasonably well, but only with a colour depth of just 8bpp,
while the card is supposed to be able to do 16 and 32bpp as well. The
reason for this is explained in the README.cirrus file that came with
XFree86: 16/32bpp requires the option "linear" to be set, but since the
card uses a MemBase of <16MB this conflicts with regular memory if the
system has 16MB RAM or more. It seems either my videocard or my
motherboard (or both) doesn't support the A26 line which would make a
MemBase >16MB possible. Trying the MemBase values suggested by said README
cause either a serious lock-up or a hard reset. The README.cirrus (dated
24 May 1997) mentions that this restriction (16/32bpp only when linear
addressing is enabled) might be removed from the SVGA server sometime in
the future, but that this doesn't have high priority since VLB is
obsolete and the problem doesn't affect PCI cards. My question, therefore,
is if this problem has been solved since the writing of this README, or
if anyone has managed to come up with a work-around to enable 16/32bpp
with this card. If not, could anyone suggest a videocard for VLB that
performs equally well as or better than the 5428 *and* is current enough
so that hardware suppliers might still have it in stock? Thank you very
much in advance!
Cheers,
Floris.

Also keep in mind that the integrated SiS video uses system RAM for it's
video ram. If you manually allocated all your system ram to Linux (i.e.
with the append option) you may not have any ram free to run any graphics.
As for using the SVGA server, does "X -probeonly" produce output which
indicates that it recognized the video chipset or the video ram?

I hope these help:
1) Possibly the video is using the same IRQ as the hd controller. If there
is a BIOS option to give the video an IRQ, set it to the opposite of what
it currently is and try booting.
2) The video card could have a physical defect shorting out some pins on
the PCI bus. You could try it in another system and see if the same
problem occurs.

Check out the archives at freshmeat (www.freshmeat.net). They've had a
