linear.

linear in LILO is like LBA in BIOS.

#RH does not ask anything about LBA.  Regarding the setup paramers for LILO, I can not remember if the "linear" option is a check box or an "append" statement...

#I went through this with a Maxtor 15GB and RH 6.1.  LBA comes up twice:
#once in BIOS, and once as an installation option when loading RH (for 6.2,
#anyway).  Like Mr. Kinney said, be sure to use LBA.  The option with
#installation was to 'use linear'.

#BTW, if you get a message that says 'verifying DMI pool' and then an
#infinite stream of 1's and/or 0's, it's a drive issue and has nothing to do
#with DMI. This is basically LILO telling you it can't find an image to boot
#from on the specified boot disk.  The resolution is to have correct BIOS
#setts in the first place.
