Greetings,

I'm having some trouble with a new server.  It's a Compaq ProLiant ML370 G2 
with a Smart Array 421 hardware RAID card.

fdisk is seeing the drive geometry wrong - it thinks the drive has 1 head 
and 1 cylinder, which as you can imagine makes partitioning a little 
difficult.  I can partition it with Disk Druid and it does install and boot 
correctly, but when I run fdisk it gives warnings about partitions not 
ending on correct boundaries and so on.  Ideally I'd like to be able to 
partition using fdisk as I like to have the partitions in a specific order, 
not to mention being able to change the partition layout later.

I've created the RAID disk several times using sizes as small as 2.5Gb, but 
I'm still having the same problem.  Is this an issue with fdisk, the RAID 
card or?  Any ideas or solutions are would be most appreciated.  Thanks!

-Eric
