How did you create the partitions ? Go back to the Live CD - what is the partition map according to 'fdisk -l' ?
fdisk -l: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 365 2931831 83 Linux /dev/sda2 366 608 1951897+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 366 608 1951866 82 Linux swap / Solaris --------------------------------------------------------------------- created with: mke2fs /dev/sda1
You claim to have '/' in the first primary partition, with another partition as extended, and the swap as the first partition within that. Does that match what fdisk reported ? ĸen
any ideas? _______________________________________________ Clfs-support mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-support
