IDE drive geometry problem



I have the driver for the RocketPort 133 board installed and the kernel
recognizes the 120GB drive attached. However, the kernel panics with a
message HEADS = 0. I did some research and gave the kernel
hde=14589,255,63. This got me INVALID HEADS. I then gave the kernel
hde=67261,14,255.This gave me 0 sectors and CHS=0/0/0. Can one of you
gurus give me a pointer? Please?

I think this may be the last IDE drive I shall ever buy!
