Here's parted "list" command, using stock versions (so 1.7.1 for 8.04 and 2.2 for 10.04):
8.04: (parted) print Disk /dev/sda: 160GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 197MB 197MB primary ext3 boot 2 197MB 160GB 160GB extended 5 197MB 2246MB 2048MB logical linux-swap 6 2246MB 4294MB 2048MB logical ext3 7 4294MB 160GB 156GB logical ext3 10.04: (parted) print Model: ATA WDC WD1600AAJS-0 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 160GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 1049kB 200MB 199MB primary ext4 boot 2 201MB 160GB 160GB extended 5 201MB 2248MB 2047MB logical linux-swap(v1) 6 2249MB 4296MB 2047MB logical ext4 7 4297MB 160GB 156GB logical ext4 I am under the impression that the previous way of handling the partition recipe was to align everything to cylinders, thus making my boot partition 197mb instead of 200mb. -- BIOS hang - Unable to boot after installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
