Can you post the sizes and names of all partitions?

<div>
Are you creating the boot partition on hda1 (ide) or sda1 (scsi). &nbsp;If not, you need to make sure that the boot partition is in the first 4GB of the disk, or you will have problems. &nbsp;I would highly recommend going to RH 7.2 ... &nbsp;The 6.2 distribution is 2 years old now, and a lot of fixes and improvements have been made since then.

I create the boot partition on ide. <br />
&quot;if not&quot; is related to ide or scsi?<br />
I have Windows installed on this disk too, thus it means I need to perform the repartition of the whole disk?

While installing RedHat 6.2 and selecting the size of the partitons, I give 16MB to /boot, as recommended in the intalltion manual. However, the installer complaints with &quot;can't create boot partition&quot;. Trials with changing the size or the order of creation of the patitions ( sawp and /root are accepted OK ) didn't help.
