When you post a question like this you need to include *all*
the info from the error message. I'm not a RedHat user,
but I will guess that your partitions are overlapping. This
works 'till one partition runs into the boundary of another
and then all hell breaks loose. Supplying the entire error
message is always the right thing to do in cases like this.
You can't supply too much information when asking questions.
