Maybe this bug?

A real PITA for me. I had created a new boot partition by splitting an
existing paritition, and used whatever partition number I could, so ended
up with partitions out of order. Plus, one of my partitions could not even
be read by parted (or maybe it was cfdisk ...).

Run fdisk -l /dev/sdN on you drives, and see if you get a "Partition table
entries are not in disk order".

Re-numbering partitions sounds like it should be fairly easy, but because
(I assume) of the cylinder/head setup, it might be impossible to exactly
map to specific start and end blocks!

Good luck :-(
