My extended partition isn't recongnized this is the partition layout: #fdisk -l /dev/hdc Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 3935 31607856 5 Extended /dev/hdc2 1217 2500 10313730 83 Linux /dev/hdc3 3936 4764 6658942+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc5 1 33 265009+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc6 * 34 1204 9406026 83 Linux /dev/hdc7 1205 1216 96358+ 82 Linux swap This is the expected behaviour under stable kernels hdc: 78165360 sectors (40021 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=77545/16/63 hdc: [DM6:DDO] [remap +63] [4865/255/63] hdc1 < hdc5 hdc6 hdc7 > hdc2 hdc3 but under unstable kernels the output is like this: hdc: hdc1 So hdc6, the root partition can't be mounted. This happens with/without the patches.
