OK, I know this is cooker for > 7.1 but this problem is probably here too. This has been repeated several times. The results of each install is (basically) the same. When performing a custom install on a blank IDE(ATA/33) drive for a system that already has (also) a SCSI drive formatted with Fat32 and NTFS5(Win2k) partitions, the Drakx installer improperly numbers the partitions. It assigns sda1, sda5, sda6, sda7, sda8 and sda9 to the 6 partions on the SCSI drive. It skips minor(?) numbers 2, 3 and 4. Note that there are 3 NTFS5 partitons on the drive but they are not consecutive. The SCSI drive is set up, in order, as : fat32, ntfs5, fat32, ntfs5, ntfs5, fat32. Furthermore, (the real problem) when partitioning and formatting the blank IDE drive, Drakx assigns the partitions without using the minor numbers 2, 3, and 4; i.e., the first partition gets assigned as hda1 but the second is hda5, third is hda6, fourth is hda7, and so forth. Should I say this causes all kinds of access and mounting problems? I cannot check cooker or 7.2 at this time but I did query the Bugzilla database. I found no reference to this and therefore concluded that it still exists. Need any files? More info? Have A Great Day!
