NOTE: neither fdisk or parted is the cause of your original problem...
This is what I thought. I suspect it's got something to do with the
kernel. I am just using the default Sqeeze kernel 2.6.32-5-686.

Umm, it is on my old lenny box and it is on my new squeeze box. I

Use GPD instead of DOS partition types, *and* use parted instead of fdisk.
I used fdisk to partition the disk before installing the OS. Just to make
sure all the partitions started on the physical sector boundaries. The fdisk
output posted above looks fine, doesn't it? I followed this article

better safe than sorry. If a new unit still fails, I would recheck the
