I am trying to install RedHat 7.1 (bsware 3.0) onto my HP system.  I used
partition magic to resize my main partition but because the size of the
drive already, i was not able to make the second partition before the 1024
cylindar mark.  When i went to install Red Hat, it came up with the
following error:

Failure Reason:  Boot partition > 1024 cylinders

And i didnt not try to go on from there.  If it matters or not, my other OS
is Win 2000 pro.  So i guess my question is, do i have to resize my main
partition to be under the 1024 cylinder mark? or is that error just a
warning?  thanks you all in advance!
