Thanks for your answer and suggestion.

I thought about doing it and maybe later i will do it. However i read several posts in the net about that issue (linux in general not only maemo) and all of them agree that linux can handle that without any problem. Old dos systems however could have problems with partitions not ending at cylinder boundaries. That justifies the sfdisk's warning.

The 1st warning, about the difference between disk geometry reported by the kernel and the partition table, is what i really don't like as i couldn't find any reference about how the kernel handles that and how it can be fixed.

Thanks for your answer.
Are you sure linux can handle it ?
Until now, I have to admit that you are wright but, If there is a reference in the kernel about the geometry of the disk there must be a reason for it.
Note that sfdisk doesn't report an error but a warning and for me a warning means "you may proceed but take care"
