I don't think /boot has anything to do with the install hang. If the NTFS partition is surely inconsistent then its mount is denied which causes the install to abort. There are bugzilla entries about this. 2. About the Red Hat Release Note on the Vista boot problems. The recovery instructions are more or less ok but the reason for the problem is not that Vista aligns to somewhere else than earlier because Windows could always use any sector, however the Linux partitioners (most notably the Parted based ones SUSE/Novell/RedHat/etc use) keep corrupting partition entries in the partition table. They change the real start sector from the correct value to whatever they think the value should be based on obsolete, totally bogus assumptions. And because the vital boot information is at the start of the partition (NTFS bootsector, pointer to the NTFS superblock, vital NTFS parameters, etc) thus it's obvious that none of the Windows can boot anymore. This problem is well known for over five years and keep trashing users' installations being it Windows or whatever else. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
