Guest ndeb Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 The 2.4.x kernel can easily deal with 120GB. The problem arises if the BIOS fails to deal with such a hard drive or when the boot partition of linux is located beyond 1024 cylinders.

mtweidmann Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Chances are if you have a reasonably recent motherboard you shouldn't have any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Epox boards are great. I just gave my wife my 8k3a+/athlon combo and installed an 8k9a/xp1800. They are reasonably priced and still perform well, unlike an ecs which is hit and miss as far as reliability. I am currently running 9.1RC2 with few glitches.
