Maybe it is intentional, but very unpleasant :-( New bootblocks says: partition is out of reach from the bios on old default partition: 255,1023,63 50000 Converting it to right partition via sysinstall is impossible due to different start offset. Converting it manually involves some unpleasant calculations. I forced to find and restore old boot2 :-( -- Andrey A.
