* linux/dev/drivers/block/ide.c (lba_capacity_is_ok): Do not attempt to correct id->cyls, it is a short and for large disks the number of cylinders necessary would not fit. Subsequent checks for lba support would fail. (current_capacity): Likewise for drive->cyl. (do_identify): Store value returned by current_capacity in CAPACITY. The check which corrects the number of bios cylinders is not aggressive enough. Update it with the check in linux kernel-2.2.19.
