Parted issue on G4 Powerbook

[Euan Maxwell]

Hi there,

I've just fired up my G4 with the DVD iso for FC4.  Once the X graphical
installer loads up and I get to the screen where I can choose to
automatically/manually partition the drive, I run into problems with the
message:

"The parition's data region doesn't occupy the entire partition."

If I persist and press ignore, I get another mesage:

"Attempt to read sectors 16-18 outside of partition on /dev/hda"

Persisting further (with manually parition) it shows up my free space as a
parition of type "Foreign".

Basically similar symptoms as those found in this bug report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=159047

A solution offered there seems to work only if you're doing an NFS install
by symlinking a file into the NFS source location.  I was doing the
install straight from the DVD.  Is there any way to install FC4 on a
PowerBook straight from the DVD at the moment?

I used the Disk Utility to reparition my machine and left the section I
was going to use for FC4 as unparitioned space, with the remainder set up
for Tiger (already installed).

Machine specs are:

PowerBook 12" G4
1.33GHz / 768MB RAM / 60GB HDD

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Euan.
