Phone won't recognize internal storage from SD partition

Hello everyone -- like everyone always says, I did quite a bit of research before posting this, but I can't seem to find the right answer for me.

(I use Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Hero (Sprint).)

After using ROM Manager to partition my SD card (it says it successfully partitioned, and the phone boots fine), my phone won't recognize its new internal storage. Like when I go to "manage applications" it only shows my 156 MB, not the 512 MB like I expected from my ROM Manager partition.

The only other person I've found who said the same thing, after quite a bit of searching, said ROM Manager wouldn't work for him for some reason, but Amon_RA did.

So I flashed Amon_RA, partitioned the SD card that way too, and my phone still will not recognize its internal storage. I set the partition w/ Amon_RA to 700+ MB but the phone again only says I have 156 MB of internal storage.

Am I making some dumb mistake on the last step? I don't know of many other options I can be messing up -- in the case of ROM Manager, I simply enter in my specifications (I've tried with no swap and small swap) and it does that fine and boots fine. It just doesn't recognize my memory.
