(hdb,6). This was a newly created logical partition, 10GBytes, using ReiserFS. There is an existing swap partition. I used the tools on the boot CD to create this partition. I got an error saying the system was unable to install GRUB. This caused an infinite loop in the installer. Continue without installing boot loader, trying to install LILO, selecting "Continue" from the main menu all caused the progress bar and error for installing GRUB to come up. I was unable to proceed any further. I have a boot loader in the first partition of the first disk already (GAG), so I did not wish to overwrite it. This looks like Bug 231755 maybe.
