I suspect it's a geometry problem, especially since the CHS > values don't match the LBA. Except the eror is reading the partition table itself. This cannot be a "geometry" problem, except possibly one involving the sector size, since the partition table is in sector 0 and contains the geometry. This is a very strange error, since the kernel does the same read as fdisk to read the partition table, and fdisk seems to work. Bruce
