RE: [PLUG] RH install, problem creating partitions

[John Graham <John_Graham@Spree.com>]

I ended up returning that Maxtor drive I was having a problem with to
CompUsa. I'm now using a Quantum drive and my problem appears to be solved. 

Thanks again.

I have seen this error trying to do a custom installation across 2 drives
with
RH6.1

Are you using the disk druid partitioning software (which IMHO is a piece of
garbage)?  If so, this could be the source of your problem.  Disk Druid not
appear to allow you to set up primary/extended partitions like fdisk allowed
you to.
