Indeed. But that's what's needed with a dos label. I chose a GPT label
to avoid that, among other reasons. There are no extended partitions under GPT.

Hallo, Fulvio,

Du (trantorvega) meintest am 21.06.08:

> Grub2 worked fine, chainloading syslinux on each of the
 partitions. Or rather it worked all fine until I reached the fifth
 partition. Once tried with that all I got was a boot error.

 suspiciously related to a situation involving the use of a dos label
 to me.

One of the four primary partitions must be an extended partition if you
want to use partition 5 (or higher).

Viele Gruesse!
