: I've recently experienced a problem with hd geometry on Linux kernel : 2.2.17. I've got 2 identical hard drives, set up as LBA on BIOS. BIOS sees : them both with geometry 1245/255/63, while Linux sees the second one as : 19857/16/63.
See the large disk howto, especially the section "14.2 Nonproblem: Identical disks have different geometry?"
