Does parted recognise the partition table? > The installer shows the disk as having no partitions at all, instead > of giving an error message that it doesn't understand the disk. So it shows the whole disk space as being "FREE SPACE"? Or it shows a line for the disk with no partitions below it? If it is the last case that the situation is the following: parted detects no partition table on the disk. There is no error in a disk with no partition table and thats why partman didn't issue error message. If parted doesn't recognise your partition table, please send a bug report against parted. Otherwise it would be nice if you could retry the installation and send me /var/log/partman. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
