Comment Re:dual boot bug is not that big of a deal (Score 1) 595

For those with 2.6 distros and dualbooting with Windows, log in as root and do a sfdisk -l /dev/hdx (usually hda) and see how many heads you got. If you got 16 heads, then you should be thankful that Windows didn't give you any problems since it expects 255 heads. This is a 2.6 kernel issue and is not specific to Redhat or Fedora. Fedora was made to be a linux distro, not one which has to bend over backwards to support a dualbooting partner who still uses old, legacy disk values.
