Not installed Lisi, I tried to fix the miss-alignment with gdisk, and it
blew the install away. It of course has big red warning signs, so I
wasn't surprised.
Now I have partitioned and formatted the drive again, making sure that
everytime it auto-checks round to cylinders, I turn it off, and gdisk is
happy as a clam. I will try another install tomorrow.
Then, checking with fdisk, only the first partition was visible, and it
was the whole drive. WTH??
e2fsck bombed on any formatted but partition I sicced it after, so gparted
is busy reformatting it yet again. 50Gb /boot, 50Gb swap, 50Gb /, and the
remainder as /home.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
