During installation on a box with a master and slave IDE hard drive with hda1, hda2, hda3 (1=fat dosc, 2=ntfs, 3=ntfs) partitions and hdb1, hdb2, hdb3 Linux partitions (2 is swap) The installation fails when the installer notices hda5 partition, which does not exist. Is there a way to make the installation program only notice the second disk (hdbx) which has the RH 6.0 Linux partition??? The installation program from 5.1 to 6.0 had no problems with these partitions until 6.1. The CDROM is on the second IDE channel as the master device. The upgrade from RH 5.1 to RH 6.0 worked without any problems, but the RH 6.0 to 6.1 upgrade fails. Suggestions??? I have tried the new updates installation disks posted, and the failure continues. THe first sign of failure if the fact that the installation program will not move to the X screens (the box has a generic Diamond Stealth video card that has never caused a problem from RH 4.x). Then the next error is that hda5 partition cannot be mounted (yes, it does not exist), and the installation (in my case an upgrade) fails. Suggestions??? Thank you.
Send me a copy of your /etc/fstab file as well as output from fdisk -l /dev/hda
