I had the same problem with a fresh IBM X41 laptop. I removed the windows
partiotion and installed ubuntu 5.04 on it. I was using XFS and lilo instead of
grub on the master boot record. What I needed to do to get it working was to
restore the master boot record (MBR) with lilo -u and remove the xfs/swap
partition and create a new windows NTFS partition there. So I think that this
maybe is a bug in the IBM software. Maybe the partition layout is hard coded
there somewhere.
