Hi
I've got this dying mobo-cpu problem on my router. The machine seems to work for
about 20 minutes, then freezes. Storm damage I think.
Anyhow, I'm putting the disks into a new box, which happens to be AMD where the
current cpu is a pentium.
I can't compile a suitable kernel on the machine itself in readiness for the new
box with the same hdd. So I have compiled one on another box, and sent it and
its System.map over.
I get this warning when I run lilo:
Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 and function 0x48 return different
head/sector geometries for BIOS drive 0x80
fn 08: 1024 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors

BIOS: 1024 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors
Added 2.6.3-iii *
Added 2.6.3-amd
What's the drill here? I seem to remember doing this sort of thing before
without any problem.
Any ideas. I'm tempted to give it a go anyway, but surely there must be a way.
Nick
(Sorry if this goes out twice, router died again while sending the first
time).
