this is the same problem as googled here:

http://groups.google.de/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&frame=right&th=b2760f23e09bd704&seekm=b21hoi%24b75%241%40ncc1701.cistron.net#link1

sysinstall does not like the partition table.

It does not like the geometry 119150/16/63 found by kernel.
My bios says 1024/255/63 (wrong, only 8 GByte).
Sysinstall suggests 7476/255/63 (better, 60 GByte).

The partition table was created with diskpart from windows xp, btw.

Any ideas?
