hi,
  I did `fdisk /dev/hdb` where hdb is a brand new harddrive.  fdisk gave
me a little message about how the disk had no known disk labels and that
it would create labels for the disk but not actually write to the disk
until i was done.  Then, fdisk dumped core.   There is nothing wrong with
the harddrive cus i was able to set up a partition table with mandrake
diskdrake ( and then read it with fdisk!!)  Any one  experience anything
similar to this? BTW, im using fdisk version 2.1h.
  
yeuhi
