[ILUG] strange fdisk problem...

[ILUG] strange fdisk problem...

Have you looked at the partition table entries in the MBR
It is possible this is where the weirdness is coming from. These entries 
are probably in an incorrect order in the mbr

dd if=/dev/hda of=/tmp/hdambr count=1

If you email me that file off list i will look at it.

Regards Ger
