From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-ac5 i686) After the type of installation you'd like, anaconda looks at the hard disk. If the disk geometrry is weird, it puts up a complaint message, and exits after you press the "OK" button. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See the description 2. Now the disc was given a weird geometery by mandrake 7.2 3. Expected Results: IMHO: "The disk has a goofy geometry. You're doing an install. What would you like to do about it" 1. Wipe the partition table (danger! to! any! existing! data!) 2. Try to fix this with fdisk (you! better! know! what! you! are! doing!) 3. Exit this install and let you try to fix this with another operating system's partition utility 4. Hah! Let me make a goofy partition for you that rounds up to an even head/cylinder boundary
