I've no idea what's wrong. Those numbers are in untis of 512 bytes, so the limit value looks reasonable for a 36G disk. I have no SCSI disks that big so if the issue is somehow related to large partitions I wouldn't see it.
I supposed it too! :(
Presuably sda5 is your root filesystem; does the output of "df -h /" look sensible, or is the size shown as much bigger than the partition?
The df output is working fine, it shows the correct amount of space (free/used/total) this is the thing that drives me crazy, for the kernel is all OK!!! :(
What happens if during install you specify a partition size of, say, 8G for / and leave the remaining 28G or so unused?
