I am attempting an installation via the 5.1-R iso. During the partitioning process, fdisk reports that the detected disk geometry is probably incorrect. Subsequently, I attempt to specify the geometry reported by bios (CSH:19158,255,16). This geometry is, however, rejected. I have tried some variations, including the "sane" proposal that fdisk makes after it reports that the detected disk geometry is invalid. fdisk accepts them but this does not produce a bootable system (not surprising). Any ideas? Thanks.
