YAST Partitioner Problem
Hi List, I was trying to install SUSE 10 on a dual boot system (windows XP -Windows2000). When booting SUSE10 , everthing works fine till I came to the partitioning stage. The installer didn't see any partitions [as if it was a whole new HDD]. Switching to virtual consoles, running #fdisk -l ,fdisk can see all the partitions and I can create &del partitions.which seems very strange to me. Falling back to the installer [GUI], going to expert partitioning and force to reread partition table,but nothing happened.still no partitions seen. Is there any way to bypass this stage [Maybe it is a bug with YAST but not with fdisk] Note: I tested KNOPPIX, Red Hat Enterprise 3, Fedora Core with the same hardware configuration Below Information extracted from MS System Information (Sorry!
