I just created a cooker install cd, and tried to install cooker in a vmware
virtual machine. I observed two problems:
1) Mandrake started the console based installer, not the graphical one.
2) The installer has problems with the empty disk:
"DiskDrake failed to read correctly the partition table. Continue at your
own risk!"
Then after pressing OK:
"An error occurred
ask_from_list: empty list."
And after pressing OK again, I get back to the first message.
On console 3 it writes:
* found a empty partition table on /dev/hda at sector 0
* partitioning wizard log:
>>wizlog>>Not enough free space to allocate new partitions
>>wizlog>>There is no existing partition to use
>>wizlog>>There is no FAT partitions to resize or to use as loopback (or not enough
>space left)
* warining: ask_from_list: empty list at /usr/bin/perl-install/interactive.pm line 109
I even tried to create a partition manually, but I still get the same message.
(created 500MB Partition ID 83 on console 2, and rebootet)
I'm using VMware 2.0.2 build-621.
