Fdisk prints wrong partition table on non distribution kernels. It's happened on SCSI and IDE.

#fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 1 heads, 71687340 sectors, 1 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 71687340 * 512 bytes

Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(0, 1, 1) logical=(0, 0, 64)

Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(1023, 254, 63) should be (1023, 0, 71687340)

Fdisk without patches works OK.
