First: Thank you, I have to test this! :-) I think this should go into CVS. Sadly, I dont believe this is enough to fix all the geometry issues.. ..but at least this kernel guesses right on the GX620(?). (hmm, I have to check if Dell has a finger in this..) I have not tested youre [changes] yet, but I have used the latest Knoppix with Kernel 2.6.17 (rc), and it does not report the right geometry for the Thinkpads.. (fdisk -l) As I see it, we have 3 options: 1. Fix the kernel 2. Fix all the other tools (parted, dosemu) 3. a Workaround witch patches mbr and partition tables. The first one is a solution for SATA in the same manner as the existing PATA fix. See this post in LKML: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0602.1/0898.html Maybe we should contact Seewer Philippe..?? The Unattended Project is THE user for a patch like this! Second one: Pat tried this in 2004.. !! Who want to take a dive into Dosemu?? Third: This is the ugly one. I have briefly looked into it, but I do not understand all the hairy details.
