I have a trouble using cfdisk( linux kernel 2.2.10 on PC: PII ):
when all have been done and write partition information to hard disk, I get
the following message:

Wrote partition table success, but re-read failed,
reboot to update.

Anybody can tell me whether my hard disk has problem or it is a software
problem?
and how to fix it?

There is no problem.
The re-read will fail if the disk still is in use.
Reboot.

(With the new blkpg ioctls you could in some cases avoid a reboot.)
