[Server-devel] Error in XS-163 during install

[Tony Pearson]

Hi Martin,
Having successfully installed both Debian 4.0-r3 Etch and Fedora 7-i386 on 
the machine, I thought I would
try to go back to installing XS from the LiveCD.  I tried XS-163 and 
XS-160-noauto, and both failed with the
"clearpart line23" problem.

Hardware details are here: 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Az990tony/edublog-beta-hw

I did a fresh install of Fedora 7-i386 and collected all of the details to 
help figure out this.

===================

(Note: I chose the default setting, having it delete all partitions and 
build new.  It formatted /dev/sdb second
drive, even though I did not check the RAID box, and I have confirmed that 
it is not in RAID mode)
