Hi,
I have read archives of list but I must say I'm pretty confused
with what I need to do regarding the message: The partition's data
region doesn't occupy the entire partition. Let me explain my
configuration. I own a Powerbook 17" 1Ghz first generation. I
partitionned drive with Disk Utility of Tiger to get two partitions,
first one I installed Tiger on it, and second one free. Once finished
installation I restart with Fedora Core 4 boot CD and I start
Installation and as soon as Keyboard setup I get the error as
indicated above. If I switch to console mode, when I try fdisk /dev/
hda it complains that drive doesn't have a correct label !!
So what do I need to do exactly to get it working and be able to
install ?
Thanks in advance for your clear explanations.
This is a known bug can you try with:
http://people.redhat.com/clumens/mac-parted-update/updates.img
Take the updates.img and use dd to write it to a USB key, then use
that with "linux updates" at the yaboot boot: prompt.
You will need to dd it to the entire device,
so make sure you backup whatever may be on the USB drive first.
You can dosomething like this:
dd if=updates.img of=/dev/sda
Replace /dev/sda with the name of your USB key drive, though.
