When you want to install Linux to an SSD, there are a lot of things to think about. This wiki post will look at all those things.
1. start your partitons on a 4k boundary
Because SSD's use 'blocks' of 4k in size, you must line up the partition boudaries on a block boudary for the best performance.
In fact, it is even better to start your partitons on a 512k block boundary. To do that, start fdisk with the parameters '-H 32 -C 32 -c' and create a completely new partitiontable.
