Your BIG MISTAKE was to use the linux fdisk for partitioning your hard
disk, instead of OS/2's own partitioning routine. I don't know how many
times this has been pointed out here already (and even in the various
README and FAQ files, I believe) that if you use OS/2 with Linux, then
use OS/2 to partition your HD and use the linux fdisk only to set the
System Id (81 or 82) for linux partitions! So you might want to try to
do it that way next time.
Good luck!
