Description of problem:
If computer has more than one IDE-disk, it will give funny things in partiotioning while using fdisk. I have old system to computer, where was /dev/hda & /dev/hdb with 
old partitions. First I delete all partitions from hda, next create new partitions to hda; still ok. Then I delete all hdb-partitions and when I delete the last partition, I 
wonderer when last partition from hda jump to hdb???

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installation to computer where are more than one IDE-disks, use fdisk to partitioning
2. create couple of partitions to hda, that's ok
3. next create/delete partitions from hdb, when last partition has been deleted you see when last partition
from hda "jumps" to hdb...

Could you please try Red Hat Linux 8.0, it has alot of bug fixes.

You can download it for free so there is no cost to try this.
