Ok, thanks; could you please give experimental88 another try? Sorry for abusing
you as tester, but I'm right not too busy with other stuff for performing the
necessary testing myself :-(

Now it is ok for us

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1              64      614463      307200   83  Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2          614464    16777215     8081376   83  Linux
/dev/sda3 16777216 20971519 2097152 82 Linux swap / Solaris

But how do you know distinguish between people who need "msdos-compatibility" and those who don't?
