Ok. I have sorted out the ROOTPW issue. But one thing that I still don't understand is that there appears to be a minimum of somewhere just over the 500MB mark. I created a /boot partition of 600MB and the system seems to boot just fine.<br>
Can anyone tell me if this is accurate or not? Or am I missing something somewhere? The documentation shows even / as having a partition size of 200MB, but that doesn't work. Does this lead to issues of other partitions not being able to be less than around 500MB as well?<br>
<br>Can someone please help?<br><br>Bjorn<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, May 24, 2008 at 6:02 PM, Bjorn Meyer <<a href="mailto:bjorn.m.meyer@gmail.com">bjorn.m.meyer@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I am trying to create a /boot partition of about 100MB. However when the system reboots, I get GRUB filling the screen and does nothing more. The following is what I am currently trying.<br><br>disk_config disk1<br>primary /boot 100 defaults ;boot -j ext3<br>
primary / 1024 defaults ;-c -j ext3<br>#logical / 1024 defaults ;-c -j ext3<br>logical swap 500<br><br>I have also tried using logical for / but get the same results. Is there a minimum size that has to be entered for this to work correctly? I have noticed that I get pretty much the same thing if I set / to 500MB. If I go to 750MB or more, things seem to be better off.<br>
<br>I have also noticed that once a successful install is done, root can log in with out a password even though I have specified an MD5 value in the ROOTPW variable. Not sure why that is.<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><font color="#888888">Bjorn<br>
