This is not a problem for Linux.  The IDE (ATA) controller drivers in Linux 
talk to the controller chip directly and do not depend on the motherboard 
BIOS for hard drive information.  Put a 10GB drive on a motherboard BIOS that 
only sees 8GB and Linux will run the 10GB, no matter what the BIOS says!
