Yup there's a linux version.

Yes.  Just use the regular installer CD and type rescue at the boot prompt
install of install-aty128fb or something like that.  fdisk is only
useful for DOS/Solaris/non-Apple partition tables.  pdisk does
understand those partition tables.

Anyway once you're booted up and at a prompt run:
pdisk -l

Send the useful information (ignore the can't open file blah blah blah).

And you'll probably have to write it down and retype it (that's why I
had you try to do it out of the MacOS).
