partition table wierdness

[Ben Fennema]

Using 5.0.8 under 2.1 my partition table looks like:

Disk /dev/sda: 67 heads, 62 sectors, 1009 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4154 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1            1        1      100   205808    7  OS/2 HPFS
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(0, 1, 1) logical=(0, 0, 33)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(200, 63, 32) logical=(99, 6, 30)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(200, 63, 32) should be (200, 66, 62)
/dev/sda2         1027      247     1010  1585152   83  Linux native
Partition 2 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(1023, 255, 63) logical=(246, 34, 9)
Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(1023, 255, 63) logical=(1009, 47, 4)
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(1023, 255, 63) should be (1023, 66, 62)
/dev/sda3   *      202      100      223   257024    6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
Partition 3 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(201, 0, 1) logical=(99, 6, 31)
Partition 3 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(451, 63, 32) logical=(222, 56, 36)
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(451, 63, 32) should be (451, 66, 62)
/dev/sda4          453      223      247    49152   82  Linux swap
Partition 4 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(452, 0, 1) logical=(222, 56, 37)
Partition 4 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(499, 63, 32) logical=(246, 34, 8)
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(499, 63, 32) should be (499, 66, 62)


Under the driver that comes with 2.1, I get:

Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 2048 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1            1        1      201   205808    7  OS/2 HPFS
/dev/sda2         1028      501     2048  1585152   83  Linux native
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(1023, 255, 63) should be (1023, 63, 32)
/dev/sda3   *      202      202      452   257024    6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/sda4          453      453      500    49152   82  Linux swap


This plays havoc with things like LILO (If I remove my dos partition
from the lilo boot it actually says it succeeds successfully, but
when I try and boot it just LI's)

Do I need to reformat/repartition the disk? (UGH)
The drive was originally partitioned many moons ago.

Extended translation is disabled..

The drive is:
Vendor: SEAGATE   Model: ST12400N          Rev: 8650
Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Thanks,

Ben
