Booting linux ABOVE 1024 cilider: Do you know something about it?

[danielshoes]

I received an e-mail repply from SUSE linux support answering me that the next release (7.1) will be capable to boot with /boot above the cilinder 1024.

There are another distrib. capable of this?

I believe the new Mandrake supports his. And I'm pretty certain Red Hat has or soon will have his option..

This is actually a Lilo problem, and the news versions of it can handle the "1023" boundary
without any probems!!

Thats good news for people dual booting large drives...

Use any distro with the latest LILO and you can do this.

Anyways, I always recommend making a ~20 MB "boot" partition at the beginning of your first physical hard drive.

update your lilo, all newest versions of *BSD work past the limit.
