Something definitely strange has happened to me. I recently had occasion to install a new operating system. This finicky operating system insisted on being in the first partition of the first disk, but the partition was way too small. So I deleted the first three partitions, and then created a new single partition in their place. Now my partitioning is hda1, 2 (extended), and then 5 through 9.
But I now find a problem that I believe is related to this. My partition 9 is out of place. Here's what the table looks like now: hda1 0000 - 8025 hda2 8026 - 30401 [ extended ] hda5 9850 - 9971 hda6 9972 - blah hda7 blah - 25775 hda8 25776 - 30401 hda9 8026 - 9849 So, "hda9" should really be "hda5", and then 5 through 8 should be moved up one to become 6 through 9. Could my condensing the first three have caused this? And regardless of what caused it, is there a way to fix it? -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
