Subject2.6.0-test1 and LILO problem: "Device 0x0300: Invalid partition table, 1st entry"
Date
Hi,

(sorry if i am wrong here; could in that case someone tell me the
right place to report this?)

I installed 2.6.0-test1 kernel on my acer laptop. Seems to run quite
well (even APM works now), but when I try to rerun LILO (when I
recompiled the kernel), it does not work on 2.6.0-test1 kernel:

LILO version 22.2, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger

hda1 is a fat32 partition w/ windows on it.

When I boot 2.4.20, i can rewrite LILO w/o errors.

looking at /proc/ide/hda/geometry reveals on 2.4.20:

---
physical 19485/16/63
logical 1222/255/63
---

on 2.6.0-test1:

---
physical 19485/16/63
logical 19485/16/63
---

/proc/partitions is in both cases:

---
major minor #blocks name

3 0 9820440 hda
3 1 7719201 hda1
3 2 1992028 hda2
3 3 104422 hda3
