Subject: 2.6.x partition breakage and dual booting
Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 14:04:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40BA2213.1090209@pobox.com> (raw)
So it seems that the 2.6.x geometry code breaks dual booting, since
Windows wants "sane" CHS values. See the thread on slashdot, or
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-May/msg00908.html
Although Fedora Core is current taking grief for this, it's really a
2.6.x kernel problem AFAICT.
Has anybody taken the time to hunt down the csets that cause this
massive partition table breakage? If so, it will save me some time
tracking this down.
Jeff
