Sorry - didn't have a chance to check that. Is the log automatically preserved?

TBH, I don't considered it a bug unless it happens with a default install. It would be nice if the default install were smart enough to use sda1 as /boot _always_. That would completely avoid the issue of needing a check. > The automatic partitioning takes care of it by creating a separate /boot > partition within the first 2 GB. > > This is what I got from automatic partitioning with separate /home: > Disk /dev/sda: 9100 MB, 9100044288 bytes > 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1106 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/sda1 1 4 32098+ 83 Linux > /dev/sda2 5 20 128520 83 Linux > /dev/sda3 21 1106 8723295 5 Extended > /dev/sda5 * 21 338 2554303+ 83 Linux > /dev/sda6 339 369 248976 82 Linux swap / Solaris > /dev/sda7 370 1106 5919921 83 Linux This works?!! Shouldn't sda1 be the palo partition? (Id == f0) I would expect palo command to complain that it can't find the palo partition. I gather sda2 is /boot. Otherwise looks fine. thanks, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
