Fedora Installs and CHS

[Mark Phalan]

I put the disk back into the original machine on the same IDE channel as it was before and got CHS = 7486,16,63

Everything seems to be working fine at the moment. I  know that more modern drives don't use CHS - they use LBA. Is having the wrong CHS a problem or does it matter at all?

Thanks,
Mark
