Please try .test3 kernel on a UP system. I think you really should get a message about "partition table consistency checks" failure and a reason in parenthesis (when determining disk partitions).

And BTW, do you happen to have two disks? And the system one being the second?
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.
The harddisk is /dev/hda with partitions hda1 - swap hda2 - ext3 for Mandrake 9.2 hda3 - NTFS for Windows XP
This is the only harddrive (Western Digital WD800JB) and it is connected to VIA chipset on Abit KT7A motherboard.
And sorry for asking, but how do I use/install the .test3 kernel?
