Back
recently had a friend give me his comp, and i tried to install
fc5 x86_64 on it. the first problem i encountered was the
hard drive had (according to anaconda) was that it had more
than 1024 cylinders on it, 75000+ on a 40gb wd hd.
got to a text screen, used fdisk x c 1024 w and rebooted the
machine. still have the 75000 or so cylinders.
did some calling and found that the mobo had an nvidia chipset
on it. it would appear that to install fc5 on this particular
board, i have to build a driver disk with the proprietary
nvidia drivers on it.
that i have no idea how to do.
also have to get the hd back to 1024 cylinders. any help will
be very gratefully appreciated.
