4.0.2 install partitions with incorrect parameters

Hi,
This is my first post, so bear with me...
ASL 4.0.2, booted of CD, installed, on reboot I get the LI.
I tried:
  booted off my recovery CD, blindly fixed MBR, tried again - no joy
  booted off recovery CD, looked at partitions ASL creates - hda1 does not end on cylinder boundary. Fixed it, tried again - no joy
  On install dropped to shell, looked at partition table before install - it was correct. Looked again after install started - same problem, hda1 ends on 650/2/36 and it should go until 650/15/63 (that's what hdparm says parameters are: 16 sides, 63 sectors)
  Found 4.0.0 ISO, tried that - exactly the same results

The HD is WD100EB-00BHF0, and it took RH 7.3, 8, MDK 8.x and 9.x without complaint. Right now I'm typing it from a reinstalled MDK9.

Has anyone seen and conquered this dragon?
Anything I should look into/try and didn't?

I'm seeing a similar problem. When it tried to remap root from /initrd, it fails. I'll have a look at LBA modes and see if that fixes it.

I have the same problem, when rebooting it only goes upto LI
I tried all commens and three different hdds but no chance.
The system is only a PII 233 but I don?t think that should be a problem as it runs fine with suse 7.3 for example.
Any other suggestions what I can do???
