Ok, I have now run the lspart-script and it gave me a following output
[root@aragorn tmp]# perl lsparts ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1: 2,000 Mbytes, type <0x6> (DOS FAT16) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2: 7 Mbytes, type <0x6> (DOS FAT16) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5: 1,608 Mbytes, type <0xffffffff> (unknown) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6: 1,207 Mbytes, type <0xffffffff> (unknown) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part7: 5,506 Mbytes, type <0xffffffff> (unknown) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part8: 2,698 Mbytes, type <0xffffffff> (unknown) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part9: 4,996 Mbytes, type <0xc> (Win98 FAT32, LBA-mapped) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part10: 603 Mbytes, type <0x82> (Linux Swap) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part11: 8,903 Mbytes, type <0x7> (NTFS (or HPFS)) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part12: 1,741 Mbytes, type <0x7> (NTFS (or HPFS)) ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1: 996 Mbytes, type <0x82> (Linux Swap) ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part5: 9,413 Mbytes, type <0x383> (JFS) ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part6: 2,000 Mbytes, type <0x383> (JFS) So, from these JFS-partitions ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part5 is formatted in the OS/2 and and I can mount it by hand from the Linux (but Mandrake installer does not recognize it) and partition ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part6 is formatted by the Linux-installer. The output of fdisk will gives me a following error: Note that the Id of the JFS-partition formatted by OS/2 is 35 not 83!!!
