Yes, I preserve a preinstalled windows partition with XP Pro on hda1 I think you are right with CHS-layout problem. If I use the 2.4 fai-kernel and not my 2.6.13 custom one, setup_disks works as expected. Do you have an idea, what kernel option to tune to get the 2.4.x behaviour out of 2.6.13 kernel? thanks, Juraj
