       Is there a 137GB HD limit in linux kernel? It looks like I can only
    access about that much of 250GB SATA (Serial ATA drive).

       googled & searched lkml but found nothing conclusive, there are some
    emails about problems with 137+ GB HDs. Anybody knows what's going on?

       BTW this is on debian unstable with 2.4.21-ac4 kernel (that's the one
    that has SATA driver), MB is intel D865PERL, Maxtor SATA HD (250GTB).

       YABTW I checked the drive under windows and it seems to be working
    correctly (after I got SP1 for windows XP which has support for 137+ GB
    drives)

       TIA
