Hi there, thanks for the hints! The problem is that parted thinks that my partitions overlap. Can I use fdisk to de-overlap my partitions (the end-cylinder and the begin-cylinder of the next partition are identical!)? The bug 418704 you mention above indeed sounds related, but wasn't resolved. Here comes the output of parted: Error: Can't have overlapping partitions. Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary. And here goes fdisk: Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77520 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x4bce4bcd Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1025 11984 5523840 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 7635 15922 4176900 83 Linux Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda3 15922 23891 4016250 83 Linux Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda4 23892 77520 27029016 5 Extended /dev/hda5 23892 31829 4000720+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 31830 33814 1000408+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda7 33815 77520 22027792+ 83 Linux Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
