At the end of a custom installation, the installation process crashes, saying "probable bug". The crash seemed to happen at the point that the swap partition was being formatted. Below follows the data I entered during the installation, followed by the error dump from just after the crash. INSTALLATION DATA I ENTERED: -. Insert CD1, boot up, and follow directions. -@ Keyboard Model: Microsoft Natural -@ Dead keys: enable -@ Mouse: MouseMan/GirstMouse (PS/2) -@ Install Type: Custom System -@ Manual Partitioning: Disk Druid, or fdisk -. Disk Druid does not recognize swap partition (sees 92), so use fdisk to change swap partition sys ID to 82. Now Disk Druid recognizes the swap partition.
