2.5.51: new warning from lilo
Hi!
Lilo now presents me with new warning:
Warning: Kernel & BIOS return differing head/sector geometries for device 0x80
Kernel: 8944 cylidners, 15 heads, 63 sectors
BIOS: 525 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors
lilo did not warn under 2.5.50. Now... Will it boot?

Worst form of spam? Adding advertisment signatures ala sourceforge.net. What goes next? Inserting advertisment *into* email?

Someone took various bits of geometry mapping out of the kernel. It will now give different values. As to whether lilo will still boot I don't know. I'd be suprised if it was a problem.

It still boots.

Hasn't caused a problem on any of my test boxes.

That depends on the options you gave it.
With linear or lba32 the geometry does not play any role. If you don't give these options then the geometry does play a role, at least for the versions of LILO I have looked at. You can give LILO explicit geometry options if for some reason you do not want to use "linear".
