[BUG 2.6.7] : Partition table display bogus...

[Jean Tourrilhes <jt@bougret.hpl.hp.com>]

	Hi,

	Would one of you guys would be kind enough to redirect this
e-mail to the right person ;-)

	Playing with 2.6.7 on my laptop. I realised Lilo did not work
anymore. Look further, and the partition table was all screwed
up. Looked further, and I realised the kernel doesn't recognise the
geometry of my hard drive.
	I did not try other 2.6.X kernel, on the other hand various
2.4.X kernel works on the box. Kernel are direct from kernel.org.

	Below is the after/before. First is 2.6.7 (bogus), second is
2.4.23 (correct).

	Thanks in advance...

	Jean
