how possible? advice, help on further diagnosing this? Jack
After using fdisk or parted, one must do "partprobe" at the CLI to record the changes. Both the OS and the Kernel need to know the changes. Since your boot partition is involved, you may need a LiveCD for this. Do "man partprobe" for more info.
