One symptom of that is there was always a partition from cylinder 1 to cylinder 1 of size 0 no matter how much I tried to delete it. It asked if I wanted to “Ignore” or “Cancel” and choosing either did the same thing: no changes to the partition table. It would then proceed to let me choose autopartition or disk druid (or my favorite, fdisk from shell).<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I booted the RHEL3 beta cd and it also gave me the partition warning message. When I chose “Cancel” there, it asked me if I wanted to rewrite the partition table which would wipe out all data on the disk. Of course, I wanted to do so. The partition table now does not have that strange first partition. Booting back to test 3 I do not get the partition table alignment warning.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> It sounds to me like a step is missing from test3 that exists in RHEL3 beta. I can not test this again since the partition table is now fixed.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> --Scott<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
