Install crashes at partition section

[Bruce Miller]

I installed YDL3.0 successfully on a partitioned drive with Panther present without issue.  Yaboot boots YDL, 10.3.1, OS9 fine.   The HFS+ Journaling only affects that partition AFAIK.

&gt; I'm having problems installing YDL 3.0 on a PowerMac G4. I've added a 
<br>
&gt; second internal drive for Linux (I'm well aware of the issue with 
<br>
&gt; installing YDL on the second internal drive). Every time the 
<br>
&gt; installation gets to the disk partitioning section, the installation 
<br>
&gt; pops up a general error (I'll write down the exact text of the error) 
<br>
&gt; and quits. I've tried using automatic partitioning, Disk Druid and 
<br>
&gt; pdisk. It doesn't matter what I choose... YDL still stops the 
<br>
&gt; installation procedure at the same spot.
<br>
&gt;
<br>
&gt; I installed YDL on an iBook, and that installation went fine. And a 
<br>
&gt; previous installation onto the PowerMac (to the same secondary drive) 
<br>
&gt; went well. Only two things have changed since the original install: 
<br>
&gt; The primary drive died and was replaced, and I installed Panther, 
<br>
&gt; though I didn't reformat the secondary drive.

It doesn't matter (that you didn't reformat the target drive). The mere 
<br>
fact that any drive on the system has an HFS+ journaling system is 
<br>
enough to send any of the partitioning programs into a spin. The only 
<br>
way around this is to reformat with the Jag version of disk utilities.
