Hi,
Can you use fdisk and tell me the no of cylinders that it shows
to you. For example for my 10.2 GB fdisk shows 1245 cylinders. For 8.4
GB it is 1024. You can calculate for your configuration and check if
that fdisk shows that same no of cylinders.
I had read this in a book where it told me that the author once
had to use fdisk to set the no of cylinders to a proper value and then
the disk druid worked well. And before setting it to a proper value it
was giving similar problems as you are facing.
Bye.

Subject: [ILUG-BOM] Red Hat 7.2 Installation: Partitioning?????
HI EVERYBODY,
Here is a very basic question (but I am really stuck!! :| )
I have been trying to install red hat 7.2 on a win98 machine.
Everything
goes fine until the partitioning screen comes up. I have a hdd of 37 gb
and
I have repartitioned it to 27+10 with FIPS and want to use the new 10 GB
partition (win95 FAT32) for linux. When I choose automatic partitioning
screen, it declines to do that (space not available).
Next when I come to the manual partioning screen, I cant proceed their
either. When I select the hard drive partition of my choice and try to
add
new partitions (root, swap and boot), I get the same errors, space not
available. And it woulnd't let me proceed.
Once I have done partitionless install with linux 7.0 on the same
machine
without having hard drive partitioned by fips. And it worked fine.
Unfortunately, as it seems, Red Hat 7.2 doesnt support partitionless
installations.
Any comments, suggestions, advises, must do's, undo's??????????
Greetings,
Vikram
