- Sounds like your root linux partition does not start on a cylinder boundary.
- You should try other things before assuming this is the problem, since fixing
- it requires messing with the partition table. If you try to fix your
- partitions, don't forget to do a backup first :-)
-
- Note that DOS does not care where its partition starts.
