I had the experience that parted ( the partionner of the
debian-installer) is not able to read the disklabel and partitions
created by fdisk. Did you create these partitions with fdisk ?

Maybe the original partitions were created with fdisk, I am not
sure. But since then, I have done modifications with the Partitioner
on the Etch CD I created in Janurary, and they are not visible at
all. I installed Debian from my older disk, and the drive and all
partitions were visible. I added a second drive, and was able to see
it and create partitions, etc from within "GParted". When I boot
from the Etch disk I made in Jan, all partitions and drives are
visible from Partitioner. When I boot from the new Etch disk (yes, I
have redownloaded and reburned it several times.), Partitioner loads,
I see the commands at the top and bottom of the screen, but it either
does not see the drives, or cannot read the partition info.
Once again, I am trying to do a fresh install of Etch on a 164LX
with SRM installed. I am using 2 IDE drives that are functioning fine.
No, I am not sure if it sees the IDE HD at all. I cannot get to a shell
to run the commands you suggested. The partitioner locks up when I
select "go back", and if I "control C" it restarts the partitioner.
This is all moot anyways, as it worked before and now works again on the
jigdo release of etch dated 6-12-06! Of course I have different
problems now, but I will start a new thread with a new subject! Thanks
for your help.
