I seem to recall (faintly) that some BIOSes have a problem with boot/root partitions being greater than 8GB. I know your /boot is separate, but "/" is 8GB. It is possible that the BIOS is reporting it to be something, and Anaconda is taking it to mean zero. Try making "/" something smaller (like 6GB) and see what happens. It is also possible that I'm hallucinating, but whats to lose? Ajay On Wed, Jul 31, 2002 at 05:02:09PM -0700, Michael Hannon wrote: > Greetings.
