Bug#3142: 1.1 installation and large partitions

[Patrick Weemeeuw <patrick@kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be>]

Package: (rootdisk)
Version: 

1. When trying to make an e2fs partition of 3987 Mb from the installation
   menu, I get the following error:

    writing inode tables: 256/497
    can't resolve symbol 'llseek'

   When using a blocksize of 4096 (invoked from the shell prompt on vty2),
   I get the message:

    writing inode tables: 64/125
    can't resolve symbol 'llseek'

   Seems like something special happens in mke2fs at the 2Gb boundary.

   Creating 2 filesystems of 1.9 Gb each on the other hand succeeds without
   any problems.

   I'm using the boot/root/base disks in the 1996_5_21 directory.

2. Perhaps the installation procedure should check that the root
   partition is < 1024 Mb, and warn that the lilo boot block
   installation will fail if not so.
