Re: installing linux after freebsd (multi-boot)
hi, Today I removed partitions from Fedora 7 installation , (kept /home partition from FC7). Again went threw installation I faced no problem this time. Fedora 7 was installed without using LVM. on free space I installed Ubntu7. server for test purpose. No error. Sequence was Freebsd6.2 , Fedora Core 7 then RHEL4. When I tried installation with deselecting many packages (minimal installation) for RHEL5 without using LVM , I faced no problem, rebooted in mid to use LVM+minimal RHEL5 again same error. Repetation with minimal installation+ no LVM could not continued (found same error again). Most likely it was due to partition table. Now current partition table I have is.

Last time too I had do format my FreeBSD just for RHEL4/Fedora, and I dont want to format FreeBSD just to install linux. Is there some method to avoid formatting FreeBSD every time I fresh install linux? I have two disks , second disk I use for saving data. Thanks and Regards Anuj Singh anugunj.

I am installing rhel5 , when linux installation process starts I get an error of /dev/hdc1 busy , can not report to kernel about partition layout. In the past I installed linux then FreeBSD. Is there some method that rhel5 installation can skip /dev/hdc1 (freebsd slice) ? saving my freebsd installation Do you want to install rhel5 on a different disk than your FreeBSD installation is located on? In this case I would just remove the disk (unplug the cable) during the installation.

Hi, 1. I am trying to fresh install over single disk. 2. I have FreeBSD6.2 slice on first primary partition of the disk. can I have a look at your partition table ? I have IDE hard disk. Regards.
