The upgrade complains about hda5 and it not being ext2fs its NTFS and then the searching box reappears forever .. Well a long time anyway... Disk layout is. 2x10 GB disks, Linux, NT and 98 installed.. disk 1 has a 2GB boot drive (98), the linux swap and NT partitions ( hda5 is the one singled out by the installer ) disk 2 has a /boot and / partition. disk 1 Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1232 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 260 2088418+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hda2 261 277 136552+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 278 1024 6000277+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 278 1024 6000246 7 HPFS/NTFS disk 2 Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1232 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 3 24066 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 4 1232 9871942+ 83 Linux ------- Additional Comments From 10/05/99 15:30 ------- With Windows NT / OS/2 HPFS partitions present the installer for RedHat 6.1 fails to upgrade, as it trys to mount the HPFS partition as an EXT2 fs partition, attempting to find the root partition to upgrade. This has been verified to fail on 2 different systems so far.
