Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:

Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:

/dev/hda1p3 ? 10499 10499 0 65 Novell Netware 386
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(353, 115, 52) should be (353, 254, 63)
/dev/hda1p4 167628 167631 25817+ 0 Empty
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(0, 0, 0) should be (0, 254, 63)
Partition table entries are not in disk order
My last install was Debian 3.0 (which still resides on partition 4). The partition table did not show these bits of free space then. Ubuntu is on Partition 6.
Any idea what is the problem here?

I think that this can help you :
do :
fdisk /dev/hda
use option : x (expert mode)
use option : f (fix partition order)
use option : v to verify partition
if it is ok
then you can do
option : w ( to write table to disk)
option : q to quit
