I'm going to guess at column headings here and attempt to reformat
the listing.
Assigned to FSType End Start Cylinders Act PartType

I'd certainly rather have some partition numbers, and I don't
understand the data I've labeled "End", "Start", and "Cylinders",
because it looks like large parts of the disk are unused. I guess my
labels are wrong, but that's the best I can make of it.
Meanwhile, you've reinstalled Linux.
- Does it boot?
- Does it work?
- Do you still want to punt it or do you want it to work?
