disk is detected:

partitions created with a newer fdisk under 2.6 kernel are detected: HDA: 
HDA1 HDA2 <HDA5 HDA6 HDA7 HDA8>. /dev/hda5 has a vfat filesystem and it is 
possible to mount it ok, but fdisk /dev/hda fails. Error message: "Unable to 
read /dev/hda". cfdisk error: "Fatal error: bad primary partition table". 
The partition table and all drives are accesible from a Fedora Core 5
