[9fans] fdsik suicide while installing
I have a dell inspiron 700m. I can boot the install cd just fine and everything seems to work out of the box. I select a fossil fileserver. When I get to the partdisk task, it shows my harddrive as sdC0. I select that and I get fdisk 1040: suicide:sys:trap: divide error pc=0x00825d4 sdc0 is reported as a Toshiba MK4026GAX, its a 40gb harddrive. I have tried it with out dma and with, no difference. I have tried manually running it and have had the same result. The number (1040) after fdisk changes, is that number of the command in rc? i.e. the 1040th command run, but the pc number stays the same. I downloaded the install cd today, if that makes a difference. Thanks Bob

Its an OS that is still relatively young. I am going to clear out the partition map and try again.
