When it got to installing the kernel image and tried to make an initrd, it failed by saying that '/dev/sdi2 isn't a valid block device'. It was a valid block device because it had just partitioned it and created the filing system (ext3). I later re-tried the installation with the boot and root filesystems on sda, which worked fine, so I can only presume it was a problem with trying to install onto such a high disk ID. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
