There are a few important rules to take care about when configuring
Partitions: - You need at least a root partition (!) - Take care to the device section: don't forget to change it to fit your hardware. [ Example: if your server has scsi disks, replace /dev/hda with /dev/sda ]. - When you choose to use extended partitions, and one of the primary is empty, you must configure partition 4 as the empty one . As you can see in sample.cfg, we have: ## This is OK ## /dev/hda1 /boot /dev/hda2 swap /dev/hda3 extended /dev/hda4 empty <---- This will work /dev/hda5 / /dev/hda6 /var ... If we change the order of partition 3 and 4, sfdisk, the tool that creates the partitions during the install, stops when finds the first empty partition ignoring the others. ## This is WRONG! ## /dev/hda1 /boot /dev/hda2 swap /dev/hda3 empty /dev/hda4 extended <---- This will NOT work !! /dev/hda5 / /dev/hda6 /var ...
