I got a similar, if not the same, error three times in a row until I deferred adding my MS-DOS partition until after the installation. I was trying to mount it under /ms, but that may not matter. Also, my entire Linux system consists of 1 partition. Perhaps multiple-partition systems are broken? (There appear to be several duplicates of this bug in bugzilla.) Also, fdisk with Red Hat 7.0 seems to imply that you can now boot Linux filesystems beyond 1024 cylinders. Well, you can, but you had better make a boot disk because you'll have to manually add lba32 and rerun lilo post-install. Thanks for the clue - I was getting confused, because I did manage to get one working install, then (because I was trying to work out what was happening) repeated the installs again but got the same problem again and again. Why was this a clue? Because that working install followed me forgetting to edit the Disk Druid table to iclude two FAT32 partitions with my Windoze stuff on them (Win95). (I have three very small IDE drives - but size isn't everything...) I remember that distinctly because for one horrible moment whilst looking at the Linux file manager I thought I had lost the two FAT32 partitions (always automounted under RH6). Errrr... of course they are backed up... :-) I will see if this is repeatable. |
