Hi. I've tested that stuff.
My extended partition isn't recongnized

this is the partition layout:
#fdisk -l /dev/hdc
Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4865 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1   *         1      3935  31607856    5  Extended
/dev/hdc2          1217      2500  10313730   83  Linux
/dev/hdc3          3936      4764   6658942+  83  Linux
/dev/hdc5             1        33    265009+  83  Linux
/dev/hdc6   *        34      1204   9406026   83  Linux
/dev/hdc7          1205      1216     96358+  82  Linux swap

This is the expected behaviour under stable kernels

hdc: 78165360 sectors (40021 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=77545/16/63
 hdc: [DM6:DDO] [remap +63] [4865/255/63] hdc1 < hdc5 hdc6 hdc7 > hdc2 hdc3

but under unstable kernels the output is like this:
hdc: hdc1

So hdc6, the root partition can't be mounted. This happens
with/without the patches.
