I have recompiled parted from sources, but it behaves differently than
the RPM I was using before. Even the print command has a problem,
here is the output:
- - - - - - - - - -
(parted) print                                                            
You found a bug in GNU Parted.  Please email a bug report to 
address@hidden containing the version (1.6.23), and the following 
message:

Assertion (head_size <= 63) at disk_dos.c:584 in function 
probe_partition_for_geom() failed.
- - - - - - - - - -
This problem was reported already just few days ago.

I'm running Fedora Core 4 Linux. I did the same on a FC3 box
and the print command works fine there. There is a different disk
though. Strange. Maybe a problem in some library.

Best regards,
