Howdy,
         I am attempting to boot to my LINUX partition located above 1024 
cylinders.  I have RedHat 7.1 (2.4.2) and I keep getting an error stating 
that LINUX can't boot past 1024.  I just upgraded from debian 2.2 (2.2.17) 
and it allowed me to do just that (I needed the X support and 2.4 kernel 
for my new video card). Is there a boot switch to allow booting from above 
1024?  I can't seem to find it in my LINUX manuals but it does exist (at 
least in debian 2.2).

Thank you,
David R. Novotny
