Please could someone explain this?
On my box running FC5 with LVM I get the following from fdisk -l
[root@Core clive]# fdisk -l
bash: fdisk: command not found
[root@Core clive]# /sbin/fdisk -l

Disk /dev/dm-3 doesn't contain a valid partition table
I have Googled and it was said "... doesn't contain a valid partition
table" was normal and is nothing to worry about! The reason I ask is
that when I do a `yum update` all goes well unless there is a kernel
update. The system will not boot from the new kernel and I have to
revert to the original (2.6.18-1.2257.fc5).
