That's your problem - the partition table looks > corrupted to me.
Really. What is it supposed to look like ? The only strange thing I noticed is that the "extra" partition has a length of 0xffffffff. I used pdisk to initialise the partition table with the "i" option. I didn't know how to set the size or types of partitions using pdisk or fdisk, so I used the LinuxPPC X based disk partitioner. I just set the last partition to be as large as I could get. How do I fix the partition table ? I want 800KB bootstrap, 256MB of swap, 2GB for "/" and the rest for "/home". Thanks, Brendan Simon.
