Comments/Problems:
<Note that uname above is the system I'm writing you from, a Woody
installation with later kernel. The initial boot-up and autodetect sequences
went very well. Unfortunately, the partition table was not read by the
partitioner, and the reported size of the disk was still at the 137GB limit.
I did not understand the /dev structure to successfully use
fdisk/cfdisk/sfdisk at the shell prompt. Since I have already used the disk
at apparently full capacity with an installation of Woody r2 using kernels
2.4.29 and 2.4.20, I suspect a problem with the installer's partitioner or
disk-recognizer. However, my Woody system has not been stable using this
disk so I can't rule out a hardware problem.>
Thank you for all your work, the new installer looks great. If you can give
me any pointers on this problem, I'd appreciate it.
Yours,
Eric White

Thank you for following up. Closing your report because of this.
Feel free to file a new report if you have any issues during a new
installation.
