You did the partition "hide" trick, didn't you? It "hides" the
partition by toggling a bit in the "type" field of the partition
table. This means that [c]fdisk will tell you the partition type is
something else (cause that's what the disk says). You can verify this
by putting the table back (use linux cfdisk! not windo~1!) and
booting. The better solution is to be sure and "unhide" the partition
in the potato section of your grub config.
