I've run into this error once with a 9.0 cooker and there are several people over at aolm reporting similar errors with 9.0 betas and 8.2:
Diskdrake sometimes creates partition tables that any other disktool (*fdisk, PM etc) will report as bad. The errors ususally run along the lines of "partition extends beyond physical boundaries" or "partition ends after end of disk". Took me a few days to find a solution to this on one of my boxes. The drive must be explicitely set to LBA in bios. Any other setting including AUTO and you'll run into that error. In one case the drive was set to LARGE, but the kernel reported LBA at startup. For me the error was non-fatal, I only noticed it because *fdisk tools refused to change the type of a partition. But now there's a guy that reports that 8.2 won't start due to an out of space error on a 40Gig drive, quote: ============================= More information: partition magic says the following: Error #109: Partition ends after end of disk. ucEndCylinder (4865) must be less than 4865. Info: Partition didn't end on cylinder boundary. ucEndHead expected to be 254, not 144. ============================= - Mark
