    Hello!

    I'm sorry, but acpi=routeirq doesn't work. But to my head came other
    thing. I noticed that I on 2.6.9 (which correct works) I have this
    part of dmesg:

    hdb: Host Protected Area detected.
            current capacity is 66055248 sectors (33820 MB)
            native capacity is 78165360 sectors (40020 MB)
    hdb: 66055248 sectors (33820 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65531/16/63,
    UDMA(33)

    and on 2.6.10 I have:

    hdb: Host Protected Area detected.
            current capacity is 66055248 sectors (33820 MB)
            native capacity is 78165360 sectors (40020 MB)
    hdb: Host Protected Area disabled.
    hdb: 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63,
    UDMA(33)

    How see, first is 32GB (33820 MB), and second is 40GB (40020MB).
    Correct value should be 32GB, in spite that my disk is 40GB. I want
    to say, that I have a little old BIOS and my BIOS detect only 32GB,
    therefore I have limited size of my disk. And maybe kernel 2.6.10
    influence on my BIOS and force to detect 40GB, which is not
    operable, because my BIOS is too old. I think that maybe to fix it I
    should force my kernel to detect only 32GB, how on kernel 2.6.9.
    Maybe this is a BUG of new kernel?

    Fryderyk.
