SUBJECT: RE: Help


I had the same problem.

The issue is that you (likely) have a swap partition set up on hda5, which is part of the extended logical partition hda2.

As an extended partition, hda5 is consuming the remainder of the entire disk (regardless of wether it's logical partitions actually consume the entire portion or not) which is why you get the 'no free sectors' error.

The solution is to delete the existing swap partition, as well as the existing extended partition (hda5 and hda2). (might be worth reading up a little about primary / logical partitions before you get all gun-ho about it, or you'll be back to square one with your setup discs).

From there, you can create a primary partition for xrhino, and then recreate the partitions you just deleted.

Once you recreate your swap partition correctly, you will likely need to enable the swap partition using mkswap.
