Hi,
Don't know if you have solved this as yet, but the way to get it to
recognise the / partition is to delete the old / and remake it. Sounds
silly, but it was the only way I could get it to work. No need to play
with the others, just / I think.

Hi
This is driving me up the wossname wall. Any suggestions? Was true for dapper
and is true for edgy:
I don't like and won't use the default partitioning. On most of my systems it
will be (1) 10G /, (2) 1G swap, (3) rest /home
To re-install a different distro etc just blot out /.
Boot CD. Choose install. Manually partition.

/\ Warning No root partition. Stuck here.

Any blind toad on a rainy day can read: / /dev/hda1
Any 'cheats' to say proceed anyway?
So far my only solution has been multiple tries, sometimes making entries
/home /dev/hda3
swap /dev/hda2
/ /dev/hda1
or swapping the order hda1, hda2, hda3
some times deleting hda1 then re-creating it works.
Typical install 30min + 45min fart-arsing around to NOT get 'no root
partition'.
Of course, he bemoaned glumly, you let the installer choose partitions
automatically and all is well except the /home you were trying to keep is
toast.
