Selecting the "single partition" option in the partitioner correctly displays an ext3 root as partition 1 and swap as partition 2. However, the confirmation screen shows swap as partition 17. Attempting to mount the swap space then fails, since there is no partition 17 - the dialog box error message displays no partition number at all. ("The attempt to mount a file system with type swap in SCSI1 (0,5,0), partition # at none failed.") No errors appear on vt3, and the only informative notice on vt4 is a standard "Unable to find swap-space signature" warning. The automatically generated partition table is not correct. A partial transcription: Pt# Start End Id System 1: 1 967 3 SGI raw <-- should be type 83 (Linux native) 2: 968 1018 0 SGI volhdr <-- should be type 82 (swap) 11: 0 1018 6 SGI volume Additionally, there should be a partition 9 of type SGI volhdr at the beginning of the disk -- this is where the bootloader must be installed. Five cylinders is a typical size. Going back to the main menu and selecting the old (fdisk) partitioning also failed - attempting to delete partitions crashed fdisk immediately with a floating point exception. Seems like some of the issues encountered in #238363 and friends haven't been entirely resolved.... After using dd to zero out the partition table, fdisk was able to create partitions successfully. The remainder of the installation completed without problems, including the new firmware variables reminder in arcboot-installer (thanks Thiemo!). -- Nicholas Breen [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------- Received: (at 250800-done) by bugs.debian.org; 20 Jul 2004 16:44:04 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 20 09:44:04 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from h34-aclarke.sv.meer.net (ofb3.ofb.net) [205.217.153.34] by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1Bmxim-0006sb-00; Tue, 20 Jul 2004 09:44:04 -0700 Received: by ofb3.ofb.net (Postfix, from userid 1009) id 23B8020700DD; Tue, 20 Jul 2004 09:44:01 -0700 (PDT) Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2004 12:44:01 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Report cleanup Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6+20040523i From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Nicholas Breen) Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-3.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00 autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 X-Spam-Level: No remaining issues from this report, closing it. -- Nicholas Breen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
