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.

installing linux after freebsd (multi-boot)
Hello , I have freebsd6.2 installed with Fedora core 7 and rhe4. 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 regards Anuj Singh. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
