Description of Problem: If you have a mylex card or if you use the DAC960 module, you can create more than 7 partitions on one disk. The problem : you have many problems on reboot. The worst is you can't reboot. The problem is due to the major/minor limited to 16 bits. The mylex card can manage 32 disks. so it uses 5 bits for the minor. You have only 3 bits to the partitions. If you try ( and you can ) to create 8 partitions, the installer accepts this, but the major/minor will be associated to the next disk. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.2, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 on 32 bits hardware How Reproducible: allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. create 8 partitions with a mylex card 2. reboot 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: It should be useful in this case to show a warning window during installation which prevent the creation of more than 7 partitions. Additional Information:
