I don't think it is liked to the error as mentioned in bugzilla 138419 
about the cylindar alignment. I had that problem, and the sfdisk 
solution solved it. I then tried to do a ghost image of the machine, 
and ghost 2003 failed. I believe it doesn't understand the LVM 
partition. I have made an image using G4U, and it worked to create 
it. I am in the process of restoring the image to another drive to see 
it works the other way. It created an 11.8GB file from the 80GB drive 
with 98, XP, and FC3, which is about the same size as the image 
with FC2. Took about 2:20 to make. Ghost makes about the same 
size image with FC2, but is multiple files and a faster. It was just 
starting the restore when I left, so I'll know how it when when I go to 
work today.
