FC3 install SCSI disk geometry issue

Hi All,

I'm trying to install FC3 on a "new" SCSI hard disk.  The disk is an
IBM Model DHRS.  When I boot from the FC CD, I get a warning that the
geometry that the disk reports and the geometry that fedora sees are
different.  I tried going through the install anyway (setting up
partitons using disk-driud), but disk druid couldn't handle the
geometry difference problems,  (If it matters, the controller is a
Buslogic BT958.  Yes, the controller is set up for large disks)  and
the installation crashed.  Would someone please tell me how to resolve
this issue?

Thanks Mark
