boot partition beyond 1024 cylinders
Hi! When trying to keep an existing Windows partition on hda1, we encounter a message to be manually clicked away that the boot partition is beyond cylinder 1024 ("so it cannot boot", but that is not a problem). So we cannot really autoinstall these machines so far: is there any solution to it available? <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <mount>swap</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">130</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">2</partition_nr> <size>2gb</size> </partition> <partition> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <mount>/</mount> <partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id> <partition_nr config:type="integer">3</partition_nr> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>2,3,4,5,6,7</use> </drive> </partitioning> Thomas Mack TU Braunschweig, Abt.

Hi, Do you have install/mode/confirm set to true by any chance! This check is only in confirmation mode, it should not happen if it is set to false. Anas Thomas Mack wrote:
