Humm, I am using 2.6.18-53, do you think I might be better of with FC8. -Jai -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sakthivel Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 12:08 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Paritionning Error While Installing REL5 Hi Jai, I think your kernel is not supporting for GPT option , To use GPT with linux you need: A linux kernel with the GPT support (option CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION set to yes) A boot loader that supports GPT (grub-0.97 needs a patch) Disk tools that supports GPT (GNU-Parted and GParted support it) Sakthi Jai Rangi <jrangi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Thank you Sakthi, I was able to install the os after rebuilding the RAID.

When I do the partitioning I get this error message, "You boot partition is on a disk using GPT partitioning scheme but this machine can not boot using GPT. This can happen if there is not enough space on you hard drive. The error must be corrected before you try to install Redhat Enterprise server. " Has any one experienced this problem? Any idea for the solution.
