Hi y'all I can't tell you which msg thread it was in but after an install and the system hangs...one of the responses was that the boot partition might be too large...
No, it was that it's location puts things above 1024 cyls (largeness *can* cause).
Although most of the installs (raid 1) I don't have that problems but I have before. I usually make my boot partition 200mb.
Generally 100mb is enough. @00 is ok too.
my question: What size do y'all recomend for the boot partition, 100mb?
The important thing is that the partition shoud begin and end below 1024 cyls. Grub/lilo, etc. have to use BIOS calls.
sfdisk -l /dev/xxx will let you see the mappings.
