Hi I m trying to install RH 7.3 onto a 4 Gb HDD with Win98 on /dev/hda1, /dev/hda5.I was working on the same HDD with RH6.2 for a long time. Tried disk druid ,fdisk and autopartitioning in RH7.3. Most of the time , when the packages are begining to install ,i get the error ,"Unable to initialise Swap partions' press key to reboot. Tried enabling and disblaing format option for ext3 and swap partition. My friends here say that it could be something wrong with the Partion table or a virus in the partition table. Here's the listing of the souped up partion table. This is totally messed up, i know, but things were much more decent looking until I used fdisk instead of druid.
