yes, I did ;-)

Badblocks finds each time ONE bad block at the end of the partition no matter where I create it or how large the partition is. Syslog shows this message: Oct 27 10:57:45 shunka kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Oct 27 10:57:45 shunka kernel: 03:06: rw=0, want=594376, limit=594373 Oct 27 10:57:45 shunka kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Oct 27 10:57:45 shunka kernel: 03:06: rw=0, want=594376, limit=594373

the same occurs when I try to dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda6 bs=1024 count=594373 dd: writing `/dev/hda6': Input/output error 594373+0 records in 594372+0 records out --- Oct 27 11:40:40 shunka kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Oct 27 11:40:40 shunka kernel: 03:06: rw=0, want=594376, limit=594373
I've tried many times to repartition the whole disk...

where should I try to find it? ("SWAP-SPACE" | "SWAPSPACE2")

I have some problem with ksymoops - some unresolved symbols. I read about it and problems with binutils and their libraries. I hope, I'll solve this quick.
What means the problems I (only) once noticed about the signature?
