Description Nils Martin Fredriksen 2000-10-10 21:00:03 UTC
My wife's system has 2 ide harddisks, one 13GB wd drive with Win95 as
master, and one 6GB Quantum drive as slave. I tried to install RH7 to the
second hd after much selling the idea of using a great OS. Of course, as I
got permission to go ahead Murphy just had to drop by.

During install I can't use Disk Druid. It pushes "/" down to the very
latest part of the disk, and I seem to recall LILO doesn't support this.
(And, it's untidy. I'm a pedant...)

All looks great with fdisk though. But after fdisk anaconda stops with
grave error messages and asks me to send the appended text to bugzilla. And
as I'm anacondas faithful servant, here you go!

I have the same problem. Setup is as follows:

- PII/300 (overclocked to 338 <g>).
- 128MB RAM
- 10.2 GB HDD
- ATI FURY 128

Error I consistently get:
