This gives me a geo_comp_addr too big error. The hd hasn't changed since last I booted with 2.2.18. It's been the size it /hda1 has been the size it is for some time, actually. But 2.4.0 doesn't like it. If I comment out the new kernel and execute lilo, everything is OK. Is there anything that I can do short of sizing hda1 down?
