I have tried with kernel -24mdk and still the same problem. I did get the partition table consistency check message and in paranthesis it says: overflow.
Thanks, I now have something to work on. It could be that start_sec & nr_sects values are signed (but I can't find this on the specs) so the overflow checking code needs to be changed.
Have you changed your partitions layout or is the my_disk dump you sent me still valid?
And sorry for asking, but how do I use/install the .test3 kernel?
The .test3 changes are now integrated in the -24mdk kernel. Provided you had a -23mdk UP kernel installed, simply duplicate your boot entry in lilo.conf and replace /boot/vmlinuz-whatever with /boot/vmlinuz.test3, run lilo, reboot.
Bye, Gwenole.
