Hi,

I've got a little problem.
I have a Adaptec AIC-7770 adapter and hard disk. I made a partitons on it
under 2.0.35, and leter a I've upgraded to 2.0.36. Both of them (2.0.35
and 2.0.36 has the same SCSI configuration).
Under 2.0.36 fdisk display errors:
------------------------------------------------------
Using /dev/sda as default device!

Command (m for help): 
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 274 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1            1        1       64   513008   83  Linux native
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=(500, 63, 32) logical=(63, 221, 30)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(500, 63, 32) should be (500, 254, 63)
/dev/sda2          502       64       80   123904   82  Linux swap
................
--------------------------------------------------------
 ,but everything is clear under 2.0.35.

It's strange but under 2.0.36 system is working ok, If I hadn't run fdisk
I would have never discover this error.
I attached dmesg files from 2.0.35 and 2.0.36

What should I do?
