Yes I do:

If you had read it, this problem wouldn't even have happened...
http://pateam.esiee.fr/parisc-linux-boot/PA-RISC-Linux-Boot-HOWTO/paloappusage.html#bootablepartition

What's more, palo _does_ tell you what's wrong:
"can't seek past 238026752"

Please, take some time to read the doc that has been written to avoid repeating endlessly the same answers to the same questions...

For what it's worth, we, as a community of developers and users, have a mailing-list to share knowledge. You'll find much help there too, that's why I'm CC'ing this mail.
