Changing product to Red Hat Linux Beta since it deals with older-beta code as well. went to the F2 screen and did the mknod on dev/hda and ran fdisk on it. interesting stuff here. Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 5 32764+ 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(73,15,63) should be (73,254,63) /dev/hda2 5 1230 9836064 5 Extended Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(1023,15,63) should be (1023,254,63) /dev/hda5 5 1197 9573448+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 1197 1230 262552+ 82 Linux swap Definitely a partition problem. Not sure if this was a partition error caused by the older beta or what. I have made no changes to partition table since installing this older beta, and no lilo changes, so as far as I know, this is the same partition table that the older installer created. went to the F2 screen and did the mknod on dev/hda and ran fdisk on it. interesting stuff here.

Ok... zeroed the original partition table, and install proceeded until the X configuration. I will submit that on a different report if I can reproduce it. What did you last partitino this drive with (kernel/release/)?? This happens when a drive was partitions with the kernel thinking the geometry was different than when you ran the installer. Closing due to inactivity. |
