Please give the steps to reproduce this - is it text mode, graphical mode, kickstart, etc and all the steps afterwards. We do not autopartition the booting partition above the 1024 cylinder limit. The only way to have this happen is to select a preexisting partition as the bootable partition. This happens in graphical mode. I haven't been autopartitioning - we need to use a slightly odd partitioning scheme, so I've been partitioning and assigning mount points by hand with disk druid. The root filesystem (boot device) is on partition hde1, starting on cylinder 1 and ending on cylinder 521. If your boot cylinder ends on cylinder 521, the lba32 option will not be used. We only put it in if the boot partition ends above cylinder 1023. Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more info. |
