Hello
While testing the new debian installer for etch I noticed that the
installer did not see the partitions I wanted to use.
I compiled parted 1.70 ang got the same bug.
$ parted /dev/hda print unit s print unit chs print
Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary
The disk label, as seen by fdisk 2.12b is (cylinder mode ) :
BSD disklabel command (m for help): s
# /dev/hda:
type: SCSI
disk:
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 14593
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
8 partitions:
# start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 1* 1* 0* unused 0 0
b: 1 1217 1217 ext2
c: 1217 7782 6566 ext2
d: 7782 14593 6812 ext2
I partitioned this /dev/hda hard disk using linux's fdisk, it might be
related to the problem.
If you want to have access to an GNU/Linux alpha box, HP provides
accounts with its testdrive programm http://www.testdrive.hp.com/.

PS: congratulation for the parted ./configure step, I found it very
helpful at explaining which library you need to have to compile parted.
