Output of sfdisk -d
There were only 2 slots to delete and we needed to add 3 partitions (/boot, /, and swap space). |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030206 Description of problem: Tried to install RC6 onto an 80GB drive. (60GB Windows XP, 11GB Mandrake Linux, 8GB BeOS) Told installer to delete linux partition and auto partition, then confirm the results. Auto partition unable to come up with something usable. Manually allocating 1GB of SWAP and defaulting the rest to / worked fine. (Would have preferred a mix of / and /home, but this was unable to satisfy the installer too.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 80GB drive, with 60GB Windows XP and BeOS installed 2. Tell installer to delete Linux partition and confirm partitions 3. Attempt to auto allocate Actual Results: Unable to install until manually partitioned Expected Results: Auto allocation of (new) free space Additional info:
