RC1 limits the harddisk in my Thinkpad R50p to 8GB. hdparm shows the same
amount of sectors for CHS and for LBA. As a result I don't see my extended
partitions. It worked in alpha 5 and beta 3.

>From alpha5:
# hdparm -i /dev/sda
/dev/sda:

The main difference is in 
CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=109170031
versus
CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=16546944
