The HPA of my laptop seems to be the cause of the problem: Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 5: parted -s /dev/sda print -> "Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!"
dmesg | grep HPA: [ 5.462165] ata1.00: HPA detected: current 268435455, native 312581808 The disk is actually 160GB but due to the HPA only 128GB are visible. Ubuntu 8.04 (2.6.24) ignored the HPA but 8.10 (2.6.27) obviously does not. This change will definitely break some setups (and will surely make some others work). How can I pass "ignore_hpa=1" to the libata module when booting from the LiveCD? -- Manual partitioning shows no partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
