The problem is that the partition begins on an odd sector. 1.3 drivers rounded
the start sector up to the next even one. 1.5.10 drivers don't. Compile 1.5.10
fdisk under 1.3. Run it and read what it says about that partition. Apply the
'+' operator (I believe... check the documentation, I'm going from memory).
Now try booting 1.5.10.
