You don't say what the BIOS limit is, as there were several. If
your limit was 512Megs (the 1024 cylinders thing), as long as you boot
linux under the limit, you're fine.
It just might be 1024Megs (Large mode ). Same applies
However, if the limit is 8.4 Gigabytes, you're stuck for a
little while at least.
If your Bios limit is elsewhere, talk to us! I'm all ears ;-)
