Greetings to the List,
I am trying to install Mdk 8.2 ProSuite Edition on a Compaq DL360
with Smart Array 5i RAID controller. I must run "linux ide=nodma" to
get the installer up. So far, so good.
I do the disk partitioning, then go to format the partitions. I
then get an error in a dialog box:
"An error occurred.
Swap area needs to be."
What is this? Google does not show anything, nor a quick search on
Mandrake's site - anyone else run into this problem?
I have tried "auto allocate", tried making the swap size larger,
smaller, tried formatting the partitions separately, no avail. I get
this same error when trying to format the swap partition separately as
well.
Any clues would be greatly appreciated - a solution would be
greeted with positive joy!
Regards,
David
P.S. The same problem occurs with the 8.2 Power Pack Edition.
