[NTLUG:Discuss] configuring lilo

Mon Dec 24 19:23:19 CST 2001

I recently compiled a new kernel 2.4.16.
I amended the lilo.conf file and attemped to run lilo.
I got the message: Warning: device 0x0306 exceeds 1024 
cylinder limit.  geo_comp_addr: cylinder number is too 
big (2751>1023)
I think it means that linux is limited to 1024 cyl but I
know it has been updated and this same lilo was booting 
a system on this same HD.  I don't under stand why it has
decided to reject this new conf.
Can you tell me how to fix it?   My lilo ver. is 21
I am presently running caldera 2.4 with kernel 2.2.14. and 
I want to run 2.4.16.    Do I really have to note the 
HD geometry now.   Why didn't I have to before?
Will that fix it.
