: Somewhere between 1.3.21 and 1.3.23 something changed, so that
: I cannot boot linux anymore. It cannot find my root filesystem
: and complains about an "attemt to access beyond end of device".
: Could it be the strange disk layout, that I have:
: /dev/hda1 * 1 1 285 143608+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
: /dev/hda2 286 286 793 256032 5 Extended
: /dev/hda3 794 794 1022 115416 83 Linux native
: /dev/hda4 1023 1023 1057 17640 82 Linux swap
: and indeed hda2 is my linux boot partition. And it used to work well....
Change the type 5 of /dev/hda2 to something else, as you
do not really have an extended partition at all.
