    I, too, had trouble with the linux fdisk/druid/whatever. The problem
was that both the linux and os2 fdisk's either incorrectly wrote the
partition parameters, or were unable to repair them. I think it was
linux fdisk that messed it up; os2 fdisk just complained and refused to
even try to repair the mess.
    I ended up getting a DOS-based (!) program that could both locate
the error and correct it. Sheesh!
