Hey Friends i need a lil help (for knowing what's happening)

     I partioned my hardisk into 8 partitions out of which only first (Fat32) is primary and Rest are logical.They in increasing order of start sectors are -

           {fat32},{ext3,ext2,fat32,swap,ext2,ext2,fat32}

Now their sizes (In MB's) are -
  {3676.71},{4301.83,4301.83,8603.65,271.44,945.91,937.69,17018.11}

     Now the problem is that when i am running gnoppix 0.8 (based on debian (kernel 2.6.7)) the last 2 partitions are interchanged (hda11 becomes hda10 and vise-versa [acc to what qtparted says]). ie they come in order -
           {fat32},{ext3,ext2,fat32,swap,ext2,fat32,ext2}

     I suspect the problem would also be with most (or all) distributions.

I am including the partition table for my hardisk followed by the cfdisk's output.

Copying this in a texteditor and then reading might help.
