Any other combinations I've tried result in failure. (And this one
doesn't work very well).

What does this mean? Does it mean that there is an uneven sector
boundary between partitions? This often happens when using big IDE
drives (>1024 cylinders). It appears that the BIOS is only storing
up to this limit, and that is what Linux is reading. This can be
fixed with a kernel hack, or it can be fixed by using the xpert option
on fdisk and entering the correct parameters. Linux will have no
trouble with these. Eric
