install problem



Shalom.
I'm trying to install Linux (InfoMafic) and getting the following
messages at boot time:
hd.c:ST506 interface disk with more than 16 heads detected
     probebly due to non standard sector translation.. giving up.
    (disk 0:cyl=525, sect=63, head=64)
...
....
harddisk i/o error
dev 0302, sector 0
...
kernel panic:VFS: unable to mount root.
------
The machine spec:
packard bell, p100/16MB/IDE 1GB.
First partition is dos (about 260MB)
Second Linux (about 600MB)
The rest is swap.

Everything works fine under dos/windows with the same disk,
and we run all the hw tests.
It seems to me something wrong with linux but i DONT know what.

Any clue ?
