Not really. The kernel doesn't use C/H/S translation. It can badly confuse fdisk. And impact interoperability with other operating systems. But in a pure Linux Environment you are fine. There is a field that gives the linear size of each partition, so the partition tables really don't care. Anyway to rule out memory run memtest86. And see if anything shows up. > If you look at the CHS definition of the hard disk it says 39714 cyl , 16 > heads(CHS mode) but the partition table tells 2491,255,63 (LBA addressing ?) > > If the LBA-CHS kernel addressing was bad it shouldn't find the /sbin/init > file ... You aren't running 2.4.19-prexxx or 2.5.xxx where they have been playing with the IDE driver have you? > Is there a way to put a disk on chip on a board that doesn't a doc socket > ... ISA bus perhaps ? A 32pin DIP socket is a specialized ISA connector. With some address lines hard coded. Eric
