Hello, Last night I tried to upgrade our database server. It's a dual p3 box with raid5 (on a metaraid controller). After I backed up everything I popped in the redhat 9 install disc and proceeded to upgrade it. But it got stuck right off the bad because it couldn't find the redhat 7.0 installation. I wish I had the error in front of me but it was something like "/dev/sda: can't load partition table" or "unrecognized partition table", something to that effect. It loaded the megaraid module just fine and was able to see the drive so I don't understand why the partition table is screwed up? I booted back into redhat 7 and here's what the partition table looks like in fdisk: Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 3349 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 3 24097 83 Linux /dev/sda2 4 105 819315 83 Linux /dev/sda3 106 236 1052257+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 237 3349 25005172+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 237 628 3148739+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 629 3285 21342352 83 Linux /dev/sda7 3286 3349 514079+ 82 Linux swap I've been migrating servers to redhat 9 for the past few months and I've only got a handful to go so I'd really like to get this fixed. Plus, the fact that rh7 is no longer supported is really bugging me. :) thanks, ajay -------------------------------------------------------------------- Satyajot (Ajay) Sharma ssharma@xxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------
