I had the same problem with Conner 4207S and here's the reply from Ted when I asked the same question to him a while back. > Sounds like an incompatibility between the libc used to compile mke2fs > and the libc on your boot disk.

Does this mean Debian e2fsprogs-1.02-1 should be upgraded to 1.04 or should be rebuilt at least with new libc5 ? At that time, my trick was using fdisk v2.1(>4GB) and mke2fs(v0.5b) under slackware-2.3 setup menu to successfully format 4gb single partition.
