    Thanks for replying.
    I have now tried 2.4.0-test1-ac2 and the trouble persists.
    The Partition Check is:
    hda: hda1 hda2 <hda5 hda6>
    hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3
    hdc: [PTBL] [1661/255/63] hdc1 hdc2 <hdc5>
    hdd: [PTBL] [1232/255/63] hdd1 hdd2 <hdd5 hdd6 hdd7>

    2.3.99-pre7-5 boots ok and its Partition Check is:
    hda: hda1 hda2 <hda5 hda6>
    hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3
    hdc: [PTBL] [1661/255/63] hdc1 hdc2 hdc3
    hdd: [PTBL] [1232/255/63] hdd1 hdd2 hdd3 hdd4
