First off, Thanks to Brian and the other developers for creating gnewsense. It's a great idea.
This issue involves installing gnewsense-kde on a fujitsu-siemens amilo pro laptop. Note, gnewsense runs fine from USB on this laptop, including data persistence. I get an installer error message. It fails claiming disk errors for swap and the root partitions. However the partitions have been manually reformatted and fsck says they are clean. This install was from CD. Just to be sure it's not the HDD, when the installer is run from a USB flash drive it also reports the USB stick partitions to be bad, as well as the HDD ones. I also had Edubuntu and XP (cough -- it's not my laptop) both running fine from the HDD before. As it happens, Puppy Linux does not recognise the SATA drive in this laptop at all in recent versions (2.1.x-3.x, while 2.0.x did). I wonder whether it's a SATA issue...but then why also complain about the USB flash partitions. It's all quite a mystery. Any ideas?
