  Wait, fdisk reports that as well?  That fugged up.  The size of the
partition is *bigger* then the disk size.  The fixes to the kernel and
hal are fixes for disks larger then 2 gig, but if fdisk itself when
reading the disk information shows information like that..

  That sounds like bad partition information.
