Assuming you are using "cfdisk", the fdisk utility that is run as part of the initial Debian installation (i.e. the 6 disks).
I had the same problem when I partitioned a large disk. I particular I was partitioning it into several logical partitions on the outer-most part of the disk. "cfdisk" did not like this and gave me the error you mentioned. To solve this, what I had to do was "Execute a shell", which is the last item on the debian installation sequence menu (i.e. the large menu you get when performing an initial install, first item is "partition a hard disk, etc." Then from the shell, I executed the old "fdisk" utility, which is a not-as- nice-looking-but-sufficient precursor of "cfdisk". It's use is self-explanatory (type 'm' for help, etc.). Incidentally, I was going to report this but forgot! :-( Once you've partitioned with "fdisk" instead of "cfdisk", go back into the Debian installation procedure by typing "exit" at the shell prompt. DO NOT go into "partition a hard disk" at this point, since you've already done it with fdisk, and you'll just get that cfdisk-error that you got before. Jusr move right on to the next step in installation. Hope this works (did for me)! -- Harmon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
