Hi, this is the output of setup_harddisks -X
setup_harddisks version 0.35fai Probing disks: /dev/hda Disks found: hdaWarning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary. DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently. Using config file: /fai/disk_config/HW_SIEMENS04-BS_LW Creating partition table: LC_ALL=C sfdisk -q /dev/hda < /tmp/fai/partition.hda Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary. DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently. Warning: The partition table looks like it was made for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 77545/16/63). For this listing I'll assume that geometry. sfdisk: I don't like these partitions - nothing changed. (If you really want this, use the --force option.)
