Let Linux broke through 1024 cylinder limit

Currently available in most Linux distributions do not support partitions larger than 1024 cylinders as/Root district.

So how do you break through the 1024 cylinder limit it to feed the little Penguin's key. In the window (Windows) so for many years, computer fans, and now finally much Linux this little pet, less lonely, but unfortunately it's wings to take us out of the window, but to let it and "Windows" together with us. The vast majority of users are in the first primary partition to install common Windows9.x, NT, Windows2000 and partition occupies most of the hard drive capacity, wait until the loading Linux partition location already has more than 1024 cylinders, currently available in most Linux distributions do not support partitions larger than 1024 cylinders as/Root district. So how do you break through the 1024 cylinder limit it to feed the little Penguin's key. Linux in DiskDruid utility partition function not strong, the/Root area, no matter how big the partition size, always displayed BootPartiontoobig (the boot partition is too large), and AllocationFailed (partition failed). This is because the BIOS limitations for IDE hard disk, the boot partition should be included in the hard disk before 1024 cylinder, when Linux will direct the root partition of more than 1024 cylinders, partition failed, partition other zones is no problem. The solution is to use the Fdisk tool in Linux,/Root district is set to the third master partition (i.e./dev/hda3, do not install in a logical partition), and distribution of good size. Then return to the Druid tools, edit the partition, choose the MountPoint "/"/Root partition will be allocated. Other partitions (e.g. swap area) should be set up directly in the Druid. Please note that if you do not use Bootstar partition tools such as special, a hard drive up to the establishment of three primary partitions and one extended partition (can be divided into four logical partition)! Next, we will encounter set startup mode, start the Linux with LILO as a tool to manage individual operating system startup. But if you are installing a WindowsNT or Windows2000, and want to use them with the bootloader to dual boot, then set the option must InstallLILObootrecordon selected Firstsectorofbootpartion, Defaultbootimage selected DOS. However, the Linux boot process is not written to the Linux boot partition (i.e./Root partition), boot sector, you can only enter Windows. Linux kernel loader LILO, long after the 1024 cylinder failed hard disk partition to load the operating system kernel. Has the book describes the available options for configuring LILO Linuxconf, or edit/etc/lilo.conf to run LILO after, rewrite the boot sector, this is still not the 1024 cylinder crossed this threshold. Good people in the days without overwhelming, and this FAQ-level problem until after the official release LILO21.4.2 become history. LILO21.4.2 adopted so-called EDDBIOS extension features, breaking down the 1024 cylinder limit, and no one will support hard disk sizes up to 2TB. More convenient is that our software's supply in LILO21.4.3, as long as the Linux "gunziplilo.tar.gz | tarxvf-" command to extract, compile with Make command to build the new version of LILO. The next thing I'm not saying you know, the edit/etc/lilo.conf lilo-L command after execution (-L parameters indispensable), everything is OK! Fees for such events, to solve the problem of 1024 cylinders, wish Linux releases cannot promote faster, so bring a large group of eager for "freedom" of people outside the threshold, forced to breathe "window" in the air.
