by hi:
I have a micron system with a se440bx m.b. and
a ibm Deskstar 40GV ide drive (20 gig). The partitions
seem to be incorrect.
The ide drive has a 15/16 head jumper, which I
left at the default of 16 head.
When I did a fresh r.h. 7.1 install and accepted the
default partitioning, It only uses about 14-15 gigs of
the ide drive, and fdisk -l reports the following:
(There is also a scsi drive which seems to be ok.)
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1106 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 260 2088418+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda2 261 1106 6795495 83 Linux
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2501 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 7 49360+ 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(97, 15, 63) should be (97, 254, 63)
/dev/hda2 7 2502 20045088 5 Extended
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(1023, 15, 63) should be (1023, 254, 63)
/dev/hda5 7 1833 14673424+ 83 Linux
df reports:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 14443072 3384520 10324884 25% /
/dev/hda1 47584 15137 29979 34% /boot
/dev/sda2 6558944 762529 5456641 13% /scsi
Also, partition magic won't let me modify the drive
because it says it is not partitioned correctly.
Any ideas? Would doing a manual partition on install
help? If so, what should I tell it?
thanks
