I just read on the Linux-Kernel mailing list archive,
<http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0011.1/0056.html>
and it seems to say that 2.2.16 does _not_ permit you to access
32GB if your BIOS/IDE controller cannot. However, the author
of this post provided a patch to fix this. Do you want to build
your own kernel with this patch or should I?
