2.6 and IDE "geometry"

From: Wakko Warner

Is there anyway to get kernel 2.6 to use the geometry the bios has for an
IDE drive?

I have a installation setup that installs a non-linux os and I partition the
drive under linux. In 2.4 this has worked flawlessly, however, 2.6 reports
as # cylinders/16 heads/63 sectors.
