Reassigning to anaconda as this seems to be a partitioning issue with a fresh install. Thanks & regards, Phil
Does this actually cause you any problems, or does it just look like a bad message to be seeing?
I am not aware of any problems that it is causing, yes, I am worried about the message. Maybe I should fill up my /boot and see it there is any damage done to my Linux LVM? I'll poke around with dd and see if the partions really do overlap...
I did the following "dd" experiments and do not think this bug is causing any real problems other than the warning message: - did a "dd" to record the last sector of /dev/sda1 and the first sector of /dev/sda2. - cd /boot and filled up the partition with "yes > o" - checked that the first sector of /dev/sda2 did not get trashed, it did not. I think it is okay to give this bug a very low priority/severity. Pat ---
