Description of problem: It appears that during install the FAT32
partition table entry was modified at hda5 for no reason.  The install
was successful onto an existing reiserfs on hda9 using manual
partitioning. 

The problem was catastrophic in that I could not boot any partition.
(I am using AirBoot boot manager which sits in HDA-MBR (master boot
record) with W2K and several LINUX bootable partitions, each with a
separate GRUB).  

Using "BusinessCardLinux" I tried FDISK to repair problem to no avail,
then used PARTED where everything looked OK, so forced an update to
HDA5-FAT32 with a PARTED RESIZE using identical size.  This apparently
corrected the problem. 

The only previous time that I have had such a problem was when GRUB
install was to HD0 instead of the LINUX partition, thus wiping out 
AirBoot in MBR. Then I simply reloaded AirBoot from floppy.
 
Both AirBoot and BusinessaCardLinux (upon loading) indicated some
problem with FAT32 partition although the latter had no problem
displaying it.

This may be a mere fluke, hardware error or who knows - BUT if anyone
else sees it perhaps there is an install problem.

HARDWARE:IBM THINKPAD T20.
