Hi This is NOT really a kernel problem but you guys might understand it better.
I'm installing Redhat 9 on my pc which has a Seagate(ST340016) hard drive(30G).The machine is currently running Win2K and had two partitions C and D (before repartitioning).The D drive is a logical one and it's the one I split into two and made space for Linux.During the installation I allocated space for the swap and the rest of the required stuff(/boot, / , /usr etc) .I made it through to selecting the packages I want installed and just after that , when Anaconda tries to initialize the swap space , I get an error message saying "Attempt to read sector 0-7 outside of partition on /dev/hda". Now /dev/hda is actually the Win2K partition.It also says something to the effect that there is a problem reading the partition table.I clicked on "Ignore" (on the pop up) and I get another message telling me that the problem is a serious one and installation cannot continue. Whats happening ?
