Instead of --onprimary 1, try using --asprimary (with no argument) and it should work from just looking at your partitioning commands. Actually if you look at the "part" settings that I tried (and included in my initial bug report), the second group does exactly that. Hmm... the latter works just fine for me. Can you give the contents of `fdisk -l /dev/sda` and typing "print" from `parted /dev/sda` Created attachment 35503 [details]

If you change the specification for /home to only go up to cylinder 1114 does it work any better? After making the indicated changes, it still bombs out.. A dialog box is shown: -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Title: Error Partitioning Content: Could not allocate reqested partitions Partitioning failed: Could not allocate cylinder-based partitions. Press OK to reboot your system. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* VT_3 Shows several warning messages: WARNING: Your root partition is less than 250 megabytes which is usually too small to install Red Hat Linux. WARNING: Your /var partition is less than 50 megabytes which is lower than recomended for a normal Red Hat Linux Install. WARNING: Your /home partition is less than 100 megabytes which is lower than recomended for a normal Red Hat Linux Install. WARNING: Your /boot partition is less than 20 megabytes which is lower than recomended for a normal Red Hat Linux Install. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* As this is the same result as the second grouping of partition commands originally reported, it's safe to say that changing the /home length to 1114 instead of 1115 did not change anything. *** Bug 58182 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I unfortunately can't reproduce this on my boxes. Matt, any ideas? If you take out the filesystems you're defining one at a time, is there any specific one on which it starts failing? Closing due to inactivity, please reopen if you contine to have problems. Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
