** Reply to message from "Keith Gibbons" on Thu, 6 Sep 2001 18:31:18 +0100 Me too! I solved it using one of the combinations similar to what you've tried. I set up the main 40GB drive with the /boot partion as the first primary partition (10MB ext2) and put / as the first primary partition (250MB ext2) on a smaller second drive (4.5GB). Apart from /boot / and swap I set all the others up as Reiser. Might be worth trying to keep the / partition entirely within teh first 512M of the drive. If you can upgrade the BIOS that would be better, unfortunately even with an upgraded BIOS the problem still persisted for me. David.

I had this problem too, in the end I upgraded the motherboard bios to the latest version and everything worked fine.........

...

Hi, everyone. I've run into a brick wall here. Just got a new Maxtor 40 GB drive and am trying to install 7.2 on it. When I get through the setup, I try to reboot and get LIL-

I started with one giant ReiserFS partition, that didn't work. Tried breaking it up to smaller partition, mixed ext2 and Reiser, same problem. I've even tried to put a second, smaller HD in and use that as the boot-disk (1.2 GB, with a swap, 20 MB ext2 /boot and a ext2 /root partition. Still no joy.

Anyone offer suggestions, please?

Best, Geordon
