Having the BIOS-reported LBA sectors not equal to the OS-reported geometry may not be a problem, but I must defer to the experts on that one. As an FYI just in case, the new libata-based driver will treat your drives as SCSI drives, so you'll see the drives as sda, sdb, and so forth instead of hd?. Good luck!
