Can't install on 6500Try running through the installation and just make =
one big fat partition. Let the drive get formated with the new fs.
Then exit out of the install.
Redo the install again from the start, and when creating new partitions, =
don't mess up. Remove the big partition and then add the three =
partitions you want below. Boot, then root, then swap.
I've had problems sometimes when I did not change the partition table =
for an install. I beleive the filesystems on them were not recreated =
and when it tried to install on them, it died.
I also believe I read somewhere that the install didn't like it when you =
create a partition, erase it and then create a new one again in the same =
blocks all in the same install. So that's why I say don't mess up.
