I suspect that it is due to the fact that my old bios (sorry no new bios is available) cannot support harddrive bigger than 8.4gb. I think that your old BIOS is not a problem as Linux doesn't use BIOS in order to access the hard disks. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#252204: install: Installer format fails
Package: install Version: beta-4 I have an old laptop which I brought before 1998. I just upgrade my new harddrive to 20 gb and use the sarge installer to install debian on it. No matter how I parition the harddrive, partman just say format failed and return me back to partman again. I look at the log. It says Cannot find reiserfs fs on /dev/hda1. I use the shell to cfdisk it, but it refuses to write the parition table to it. It just complain that reread failed I suspect that it is due to the fact that my old bios (sorry no new bios is available) cannot support harddrive bigger than 8.4gb. Finally, I give up on the sarge installer, move it to my desktop and debootstrap from there. Everything works now Should sarge installer be able to deal with this? ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
