Ignore/Cancel? ignore (and the following messages were also seen, in order:) Assertion (heads > 0) at disk_dos.c:485 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. Assertion (sectors > 0) at disk_dos.c:489 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. Assertion ((c * heads + h) * sectors + s == a) at disk_dos.c:494 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. Assertion ((C * heads + H) * sectors + S == A) at disk_dos.c:495 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. (then repeating from line 485.) The same failure is seen on another machine with the identical hardware and partitioning (not ghosted, set up from scratch), making me think that the problem is not corruption in the partition table. Both machines have been working without problems since they were installed around April 2006. The host distro is SuSE Linux v9.2 (kernel 2.6.8). Yes, we are upgrading to SuSE v10.1 which has parted v1.6.25 (which is why I was using parted today, to save info about the partition table in case of a screwup). James F.
