understand it, fdisk gets values for the begin column from the bios,

You probably have an old BIOS. Old bios is known not to recognize HD over
528M, unless special measures, such as LBA, are incoperated.
Besides, I think that DOS would not recognize a partition that is over 2.1G.
I use Linux with a HD that the BIOS sees as LBA.

What tool that debian uses do you mean? The install package
uses cfdisk, which some people prefer to fdisk. Personally, I prefer
fdisk, but it is a matter of personal choice. If it is cfdisk that
does not look as friendly, perhaps you should try fdisk. Both are

Hi Butch,
The installation disk uses cfdisk. You are free to use the alt-f2

Hi,
while moving my debian system to a bigger disk I ran into some weird problem.
The new disk is CHS 4956/16/63. If I boot from the old disk and check the
partition table, it seems to be OK. but if I boot from the new disk, cfdisk
refuses to run and fdisk complains about physical and logical

I was considering changing my Linux partition size to give my Win95
some more room to put it's fat programs on. When I ran fdisk on
/dev/hdb which is my linux only drive I got the following errors.
%root%fdisk /dev/hdb
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
Warning: ignoring extra
second question goes ... that's weird. Did you create
the partition with DOS fdisk or Linux? I personally have never had
problems with making DOS partitions with Linux fdisk, but I have heard
of folks who have. What version of DOS are you running? Have you tried
reformatting that partition? I
have fallen foul of the fact that DOS is broken w.r.t.
partitions. Specifically, DOS reads information /inside/ the partition
about its configuration instead of believing the partition table.
If you create a DOS partition (not using DOS's FDISK, which takes care of
matters), you have to zero out
I recently asked for ideas about moving Debian to another disk,
and got some good suggestions. I decided to use Paul Serice's
excellent procedure he has on his page at
http://lac.laci.net/pweb/ugs/mini_howto.html
Almost everything went well. I moved the Linux partitions from the
second IDE

Hello!
Sad to say I can only offer this very general advice (which you may
already have heard and followed; in that case ignore me ;-)
Always delete and create partitions with the corresponding OS's fdisk
Thanks Harmon your advice worked. I will log this as a problem.
