The boot messages on partition check are fine, and when I boot into SuSE 9.0, and run parted or YaST partitioner, it reads it ok. The drive was cleanly re-partitioned after I upgraded from SuSE 8.2 since the installer complained at that time. If I recall, when I reinstalled 9.0 after I really messed up the system I got the same mesasage, but I was able to use expert mode.

I've seen that exact issue here when I thought I had trashed a windows FAT32 or NTFS partition. I thought it may have been a corrupted MBR but it kept happening after I had fdisked and repartitioned it. The drive was bad. It was an IBM and their diagnostics didn't see anything wrong with it. IBM tech support issued an RMA immediately. Stan
