Maxtor 80gb

[Stephen Hargrove]

I've just patched my 2.2.18 kernel for my Promise Ultra 100 card.  The only drive I have on this card is a Maxtor 80gb drive.  I'd like to create only one partition on the drive, as this is where I'm going to keep all of my MP3 files.  However, I seem to only be able to create a 12gb partition.  Following is the steps I've taken:

# fdisk /dev/hdf
: n
  e - extended
  p - primary (1-4)
: p
: Partition number (1-4): 1
: First cylinder (1-27744, default 1): 1
: Last cyinder +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-27744, default 27744): 27744
: p
Device Boot        Start            End            Blocks        Id    System
/dev/hdf1                1                27744        13982944+ 83   Linux

:w

# fdisk -s /dev/hdf
80043262
# fdisk -s /dev/hdf1
4031968

Following is the applicable portion of my lilo.con:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
  label=linux
  append="ide2=0xffe0,0xffae"
  read-only
  root=/dev/hda1


What do I need to do to allow Linux to set up the entire 80gb as one partition?  (Btw, I've already upgraded my BIOS to the latest version, but found nothing regarding LBA in the BIOS setup.)

If I need to provide further info, please let me know.  Thanks for any input you may have.
