    HI

    I'm running redhat 9 on an XP 1800 and a ASUS A7A266. I recently buy a new
    HD a maxtor Diamond Plus 160 with 8 mega cache. The fact is that the
    kernel that comes
    with REDHAT (2.4.20-8) shows the entire size of the disk (163.7 gb) but
    the kernel 2.6.1 or 2.6.3 does not. It only shows 137 gb. I'm getting
    crazy trying to understand why this is happening! Please let
    me know if theres a patch to fix this. I really found amazing the 2.6
    kernel and i don't want to come back to use the 2.4!
    What can i do?

    Regards
