In some cases, BIOS might report a particular drive (on older BIOS's) but linux will figure it out in reality. I've had several instances where the BIOS on the board recognized the HD as being under 32gb (or even less), but after loading linux, fdisk (or whatever you use) tended to figure out that the drive was a particular geometry and did it's own thing irregardless of what BIOS said - with very few problems afterwards. BUT, the kernel HAS to be rather "new" - I used 2.4+ on those systems, and they were Intel based systems as well.
