I have seen this error. I don't pretend to understand it. I *think* I got it to work by playing with the File Systems -> Partition types -> Advanced Partition Selection when configuring the kernel source. I do remember it was a pain and not obvious why it wasn't working. Good luck. Does anybody understand what you should and should not select for partition types? I would have thought for a linux only, ext3 only sata drive box you could ensure none of them were selected and all would be well. Failing that if they were all modules that should work as well as they would only be loaded on demand? Any light you guys have to shed.
