Re: [osol-discuss] Installation ERROR
No it's not the primary partition. There is currently Mandriva installed (the only Linux that could drive my wireless network), which makes use of the primary partition. I also don't understand that according to the SXDE partition wizard there are two unused partitions: One before the 'etx3' and another one after the Linux swap. So according to the SXDE the Linux OS is somewhere in the middle of the disk. Or could it be that there is still some hidden partition not seen by the Linux partitioner? The notebook used to run on Vista and if I'm correct they use a hidden partition on the disk to reinstall Vista in case of a crash. Perhaps SXDE recognizes this.

I think SXCE still recognises a Linux swap partition as a Solaris partition. Ian ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] Installation ERROR
I received this error when trying to install SXDE on a Packard Bell Easynote MX-51 'ERROR: Could not create Solaris fdisk partition (c1d0)' Strange since I once succeeded in 'installing' Solaris 10 on this notebook. Before trying to install SXDE I resized the Mandriva Linux partition in order to make some free space available. What I don't get is that the SXDE partition wizard is apparently not able to recognize a Linux 'ext3' partition, this in comparison to the Solaris 10 partitiom wizard. It does recognize a Linux swap though. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
