In the BIOS, LBA is set to Auto (with only other option being Disabled) Running in text mode, it says that the '/' partition has to be "7993MB or less"
Is there any way to get past that? Seems my only other option is the Default layout, with puts all the space into /export/home Malachi On 3/28/07, Malachi de Ælfweald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

In this specific case, I was assigning about 242G to '/' as I had assigned 8G to Swap. These are Hitachi SATAII drives in Addonics hotswap cages on 2 controllers (using the L1N64 mb)... I'm going to double check the BIOS settings, and try the text installer if that doesn't work. Malachi
