This bug is related to 1077, but is more specific. fdisk is not able to partition the last 5GB of a 20GB drive. Presumably, this problem is due to fdisk using 32-bit ints intead of 64-bit long-longs. As a result, I cannot install Linux on my machine at all. Will a 64-bit version of fdisk be made available in the near future? fdisk reports wrong cylinder numbers in the extended partition. I add logical partitions anyway. When I attemp to "verify" fdisk reports that they all overlap each other. Moreover, when I exit fdisk, the install program complains that it cannot read the partition table of /tmp/hdd.
This has been assigned to a developer for further review.gafton
What drive and model number? Assigned to msw, as the installer needs to take care of this too.
Closed due to lack of feedback. I have been able to use the curent fdisk from 6.0 and 6.1 to partition an IBM Deskstar 22GB IDE drive, so I know that at least "works for me".
