Installation guide
Some systems may have problems booting from IDE drives that are larger than
512 Mbytes, even though the install to the drive succeeds. Disable logical block
addressing, and reduce the CMOS geometry information for the drive to be less
than 1024 cylinders.
If you are using a Compaq LTE Elite 4/40 notebook, the system may hang when
changing from suspend mode to resume. To keep the ata driver from hanging
after being resumed, use any text editor to change the default value of the
timing_flags property (in the /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/ata.conf
file) from 0x0 to 0x1 (that is, timing_flags=0x1). Then save the file and reboot
the system.
