HD Install :: 0.7.1 can't read HD partition

Same problem. Cannot install DSL to HDD.

"Sorry system has not detected a linux partition" *crazy*

If I run fdisk it tells me: "the number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1222..."

Any suggestions?

It would be helpful if you are sure that the partition is not mounted.
Also include the output of fdisk -l /dev/hda so we can see the partition types on your target drive.

Yup, experiencing the same issues. I've installed to hd dozens of times with older releases, but this hdinstall script is not working for me either. I've re-partitioned with fdisk, cfdisk, Partition Magic & Partition Commander with no luck on script recognizing any Linux partitions. I installed the latest Feather Linux (based on DSL, I think) without any issues, but I think they use their own hd install script..

just changed my partition table and made a primary partition (hda3) for DSL and now it works.

This is really strange.

Ok, now the whole text :-)

I found a way to install DSL in my case. DSL was not able to find a linux partition if they were locigal ones. I just changed my partition table and made a primary partition (hda3) for DSL and now it works.
