Yes, I am really sure from that. Maybe the problem is the ID type which according to fdisk is 83 for the partition formatted under Linux and 35 for the partition formatted under OS/2.
The output of fdisk will gives me a following: (Id of the JFS-partition formatted by OS/2 is 35 not 83) Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1583 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1457 1583 1020127+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb2 2 1456 11687287+ 5 Extended /dev/hdb5 * 2 1201 9638968+ 35 Unknown /dev/hdb6 * 1202 1456 2048256 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order In addition the blocksize should be 4096 (mkfs.jfs default) in both partitions, because I especially put it to that while formatting /dev/hdb6 under OS/2.

Hmm, if "lsparts" reports both as JFS, then the installer should both see them as JFS also... are you sure you didn't re-format both under Linux in the meantime? -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
