This is a known limitation of the 6.2 installer, and increasing the limit for IDE devices is under consideration. Brock is this limit still a problem in Pinstripe? *** Bug 18265 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 54853 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 57167 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 57828 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Deferred to future release. when the next release (after the current beta) comes out I'll test this. you can be sure I'll open a new bug report if it's not fixed. I've seen (with other vendors) bugs marked as "next release" and then forgotten about. Fixing bug status- sorry for the email. Phoebe can create 40 partitions during GUI install. I started with an empty hard drive. There were problems at boot-up though : - /dec/hdxnn exists only up to partition 32, I created the rest ( up to 63 ) manually and then all worked - note : current fdisk ( util-linux-2.11w-2 ) can handle only 16 partitions per (IDE?) disk, use something else for partitioning ( maybe parted ) Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
