Here is the test I have been doing. Sory but I have to translate the french message then they will bot be exact. Installing Mandrake, When partitionning I ask for personal, then for expert. - hda1 : LVM for linuw. - Add to vg rootvg In root vg - 1rst partition / 3000 mb reiserfs - 2nd partition swap 1500 mb - 3rd partition 15000 mb rest of the vg unaffected. All installation went well until stage : installation of boot manager. Then a window came saying ================================= L'installation du programme d'amorçage a échoué pour la raison suivante : Fatal: Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0xfe00 ================================= That means : The installation of the boot loader failed because of the following reason : Fatal ... And of corse the system is not able to boot!
