-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: partman Version: (current, 2004-08-23, in Sarge installer) Severity: important
Using (the latest) boot.img, I netboot an Alpha PC164 machine. This has a previous version of RedHat on it (which I would like to scrub) and a data-partition I wish to retain. The install proceeds correctly, allowing me to choose a archive mirror. However partman does not detect the OSF/BSD disklabel (required by SRM console booting). On selecting "manually edit partition table", I'm presented with the usual options (Configure software RAID, Configure LVM, ...) but just the disk name: IDE1 master (hda) - 8.4 GB IBM-DTTA-350840 There is no mention of the corresponding partitions. When I select this device, I'm asked if I wish to create a new partition table on the device. If I I run dmesg in another console I see that the kernel readily detects the partition, and if I boot off the disk, the existing distribution continues to work without issue. Should this work? Cheers, Paul. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBKkGO/9JwS78PA+kRArJuAKCzcZfutvMBCTHq206vhNQ1YhT+YQCfeg+A MyzgP+AAqMbcs7I+at19qhQ= =29zo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
