tlug: LILO Vs. 1024 cylinders

[Jonathan Byrne <jq@example.com>]

Ain't no drag - papa's got a brand new disk!

OK, so James Brown said it was a brand new bag . . . :-)

As I type, I'm making an ext2fs on my new 6.4 GB IBM drive, and I have a
question just to make sure I don't tripped up a little later.  When I
ran fdisk on this drive to partition it, I was warned that the drive has
over 1024 cylinders (yeah, it has over 12,000!) and that this could be a
problem for LILO.  So what inquiring minds wanna know is:

1) Why is this a problem for LILO?
2) What should I do about it?

TIA,

Jonathan
