Howcome your first three partitions do not end on a cylinder boundary?
That is a deal breaker in my mind.
I don't know.
FC3, FC4, FC6, FC8 and Knoppix (I forget the version) don't mind.
The partition having to end on a cylinder boundary is only for compatibility
with older bioses that actually access the disks that way. I believe anything
using LBA does not care about it.
I don't believe any recent OSes care about the cylinder boundaries since they
are being faked anyway and have absolutely nothing to do with real disk geometry.
