The manual that comes with RHL 6 is wrong for almost all Pentium and later 
systems : the exceptions are (I think) confinded to Pentiums up to 66 (or 
70 Mhz?) Mhz. About that time systems shipping were properly LBA-capable 
and the problem went away.

Some of the later 486 systems are okay too; I suspect the defining 
difference is PCI hardware.
