Used Fedora 13 installation's fdisk (from util-linux 2.71.1), switched the DOS compatibility flag to off (as recommended per the prompt) and the units to sectors (again, recommended).
-Booted Fedora 13 installation CD. -At the disk partitions step, switched to console 1 or 2 and started fdisk. -Started with a fresh disk, created the following partition: primary, partition number 1, starting at sector 2048, ending at 391167 extended, partition number 2, starting at 393214, ending at 312580095. logical, partition number 5, starting at minimum (wanted to start at 393216 like Ubuntu did but minimum was 395xxx), ending at 4390911. -Wrote changes to disk. -CTRL+ALT+DEL rebooted the machine. System hung in BIOS like on the screenshot. I am thinking it's either the end of partition 1 or the space between the partition 1 and the extended one that is causing it. I can provide hardware through a KVM-IP if that would help, but when the bios hangs we have to physically swap or clean the hard drive. -- BIOS hang - Unable to boot after installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
