These boot messages tell you how Linux sees the drive. As you can see it tells you the drive geometry and it should match up with what you think you have. This is where I would look first.


hdparm will also provide some interesting info. "hdparm <option> /dev/hdb1"

-g   display drive geometry
-i   display drive identification
-I   detailed/current information directly from drive
