- I've had the same problem.
- My solution:
-
- 1. create Linux partition as mentioned in README (eg /dev/hda2)
- 2. additional create a swap partition (eg /dev/hda3)
- change type to 82 (Linux Swap)
- I created a 4MB swap partition
- 3. reboot
- 4. mkswap /dev/hda3 BLOCKS
- 5. swapon /dev/hda3
- 6. mkfs /dev/hda2 BLOCKS
- 7. doinstall /dev/hda2
-
- Don't forget to add the following swap entry to /etc/fstab after booting from HD:
- /dev/hda3 none swap
-
- This worked for me.
- Hope this helps
