Hmm, that's a pity.  Could you check the output of "parted /dev/hdb print"
with the parted from that package, and the official one from Debian?

Perhaps the number of cylinders is the problem for parted.  This doesn't fit
in 16 bit.  I'm not sure if that is a problem, but on my system, the number is
much lower and the heads is 255.

Thanks,
