--- Comment #55 from Tejun Heo
So do I get you right you're implying this is a parted "bug", or better, missing feature, to not apply the same automagic that windoze fdisk does?
Umm... probably not as the problem hasn't been diagnosed yet. It's a bit strange for boot to halt at that point after all. For the LBA/CHS geometry problem, the usually reported mode of failure is hang during hard disk detection. If it is caused by boot partition living too far out in LBA, maybe we should change the default partition layout but at the same time there is only so much we can do given that co-installation w/ windows is pretty common.
Maybe the right choice even depends on DMI?
I'm afraid some cases might come down to that. :-( Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
