I had a similar problem after installing freeBSD. Seems that the freeBSD formats the disk such that the sector and cylinder boundries don't necessarily match. Some Linux's refuse to play with drives formatted that way.

My fix was to install SuSE 9.0, which could reformat the drive; then install behind that the Linux that I wanted, in my case Fedora Core 1.
