I'm trying to get Suse 7.0 Professional installed on my Sony VAIO laptop (PCG-818 I think - I'm not around it at the moment) and come upon a problem during creating the disk partitions. Yast fails to make any new partitions because fdisk cannot properly see the hard drive. When I change to another console and manually run fdisk, it tells me that I have too many partitions (16, with a maximum of 8). When I print out the partition table, it only shows 4 partitions - and none of them are what is actually on the drive. I can install Debian 2.2r2 and Suse 6.4 (and older) just fine and even tried to upgrade from 6.4 to 7.0 - but once again fdisk fails. I've not ever had a problem with this laptop and have run Suse on it since 5.1. If any more information is needed I can send it. Thanks. -- Shane Rogers .-------------------------.
