The initial boot-up and autodetect sequences went very well. Unfortunately, the partition table was not read by the partitioner, and the reported size of the disk was still at the 137GB limit. I did not understand the /dev structure to successfully use fdisk/cfdisk/sfdisk at the shell prompt. Since I have already used the disk at apparently full capacity with an installation of Woody r2 using kernels 2.4.29 and 2.4.20, I suspect a problem with the installer's partitioner or disk-recognizer. However, my Woody system has not been stable using this disk so I can't rule out a hardware problem.> Thank you for all your work, the new installer looks great. If you can give me any pointers on this problem, I'd appreciate it. Yours, Eric White -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
