Giulio,
I'm not sure what the root cause is, but I have noticed this on 2
systems. One is an amd64 MSI K8N Neo 2 with 160GB sata drives. The
other system is a p4 HP tc2120 with 18GB scsi drives. Because of this
variety of hardware, I suspect it is just a winXP bug that shows up when
an LVM partition is found.
Thanks,
Dale
