Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 ...

Hi,

I'm using Woody, kernel 2.4.17 and lilo 22.1-6. My worries are the warnings (se below) I got after installing the new kernel. Prior that, I had some, and probably still have, partition table problems caused by PQ Magic on one of my disks. (I swap OS disks). My question is; does this have to do with the new kernel, lilo or my disks (all of them?!). To me it sounds more like a kernel problem, I configured it as always, only adding my graphics and soundcard - done that since the 2.4.0 was out... Anyone else has these problems?

Another thing, to fix my probably faulty disk, what is the best tool for that? I tried debians 'fdisk' and deleted all partitions, wrote the config and then created the new ones. It is accessible, but PQ-Magic cannot handle the partition (error 108) Not even whipe it clean! :(
