First of all, let me say that I do appreciate the great effort that Paul was making. Quite obviously he was very enthusiastic about his task which is testified to by the amount of related information he dug up. I hope he continues with his passion to make ubuntu and FOSS in general a better and more bug-free place.
Back to the task and thanks for taking over, Collin. I am now booted into Knoppix. I believe it is the latest version.
OK, here the dissection. While I still have 1.6.9, I get
root@1[knoppix]# parted /dev/hda check 1
No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout! Parted
can't resize this (yet).
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.
for partitions 1,2,3,5,6 and 7. Partition 9 gives
root@1[knoppix]# parted /dev/hda check 9
Error: Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.
After the upgrade to 1.7.1 the errors for partitions 1 to 8 are gone, the parted check passes. Partition 9 still has the same error. I will also attach the information from tune2fs that you requested. It seems I added hda3 partition in the meantime, so I include that one as well. hda2 now runs from cylinder 1001 to 1485 and hda3 from 1486 to 8721. Furthermore, I have cleared all bootable flags. The rest of the partition are as per the original report.

knoppix@1[knoppix]$ cat /etc/knoppix- version
5.0.1 2006-06-01
Knoppix still has version 1.6.9 of parted. Thus I again updated this via "wget http:// ftp.debian. org/debian/ pool/main/ p/parted/ parted_ 1.7.1-2. 1_i386. deb;wget http:// ftp.debian. org/debian/ pool/main/ p/parted/ libparted1. 7-1_1.7. 1-2.1_i386. deb;dpkg -r parted-bf;dpkg -i libparted*;dpkg -i parted_ 1.7.1-2. 1_i386. deb" to version 1.7.1. Looking at the developper information for debian parted, I believe this is the same version I had used when writing this report.
