weird setup_harddisks problem

[Juraj Holtak]

Hi,

this is the output of setup_harddisks -X

setup_harddisks version 0.35fai
Probing disks:  /dev/hda
Disks found: hdaWarning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder
boundary.
DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently.


Using config file: /fai/disk_config/HW_SIEMENS04-BS_LW
Creating partition table: LC_ALL=C sfdisk -q  /dev/hda
< /tmp/fai/partition.hda
Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary.
DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently.
Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
  for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 77545/16/63).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.

sfdisk: I don't like these partitions - nothing changed.
(If you really want this, use the --force option.)

Michael you are right. I have no Idea what to do now :-(
I _must_ preserve the NTFS partition.
