[ale] rh 7.3 on amd, more info

[Geoffrey]

Okay, here's something I didn't see before, that appears a bit weird to 
me.  As I noted, I used partition magic to make room for linux on this 
box that currently has win98.  I just booted with Tom's r/b disk and 
listed the partitions.  it shows the following:

/dev/hda1           510      1232  (win98)
/dev/hda2             1         6  (linux /boot)
/dev/hda3             7       477  (linux /)
/dev/hda4           478       509  (linux swap)

Point being, the filesystems are not numbered in the order they are on 
the drive.  When I did an fdisk with tom's r/b, it did indicate this as 
well.

Further, I could not mount either of the linux partitions as fdisk 
complained that there were additional options needed that were not 
supported by that kernel.

Anyone seen this before?  Suggestions as to how I might resolve this, 
short of reinstalling two OS's... :(

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
