Yes, precisely as expected. You see that under 2.4.0-test1-ac2
you have extended partitions hdc2 and hdd2 where these
partitions are ordinary primary partitions under 2.3.99-pre7-5.
Interesting. Apparently something changed in the partition
handling. What architecture - i386? CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD not set?
No LVM or RAID? What does "sfdisk -l -x -uS /dev/hdd" say?
