[cobalt-users] Larger hard disks in RAQ550 (ex raq4)

["Mike Jenkins" <cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any way of passing boot time parameters to the Cobalt Kernel?

Using the old 2.2 kernel, the 80gb disks in the box are reported as:
hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=155061/16/63,
UDMA(33)
hdc: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=155061/16/63,
UDMA(33)

After adding the Gen_III 2.4 kernel, they are reported as:
hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=9729/255/63, UDMA(33)
hdc: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=9729/255/63, UDMA(33)

So clearly the kernel won't be able to read the partitions correctly, and it
doesn't boot.
(works fine with the original 40gb drives by the way)

If this was generic Linux, I'd use lilo to pass "hda=cyl,hd,sect" at boot
time, but I don't know how to do this in the cobalt world.

Thanks

Mike
