I selected custom installation and manual partitioning. A popup claimed there was a recursive partition. Clicked cancel. The disk drake program appeared but the partition display is wrong. Here's my fdisk -l /dev/hda output: Disk /dev/hda: 20.0 GB, 20003880960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2432 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 783 6289416 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 784 787 32130 83 Linux /dev/hda3 * 1910 2432 4200997+ a5 FreeBSD /dev/hda4 788 1909 9012465 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 788 1179 3148740 83 Linux /dev/hda6 1180 1701 4192933+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 1877 1909 265041 82 Linux swap Partition table entries are not in disk order Admittedly the layout *is* odd, there are some unallocated space between hda6 and hda7, and the FreeBSD partition is located after the extended partition. Disk Druid displays this as: vfat hda1 1 783 linux hda2 784 787 freebsd hda3 1910 2432 ext hda4 788 1909 free 788 1179 linux hda5 1180 1701 free 1702 1876 swap hda6 1877 1909 Is the partition table invalid? Or is Anaconda confused? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select Custom install 2. Select manual partitioning Additional info:
Does this still happen in Fedora Core 2?
