Hi All,
   	Sorry for the off topic question but thought I might get an answer 
quicker here. I'm trying to install RHEL5 on a machine (currently running 
RHEL3) it has trouble reading the partition table somehow. I can read it 
fine with fdisk after pushing ALT-F2 to get the shell up. Is there a limit 
in the number of partitions anaconda understands? Here is the partition 
table;

Disk /dev/hde: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

      Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hde1   *         1        33    265041   83  Linux
/dev/hde2            34      4865  38813040    5  Extended
/dev/hde5          1107      4865  30194136   83  Linux
/dev/hde6           845      1106   2104515   83  Linux
/dev/hde7            34       582   4409779+  83  Linux
/dev/hde8           583       713   1052226   83  Linux
/dev/hde9           714       844   1052226   82  Linux swap

Originally it was out of order but I fixed that and it still has the 
problem. The message starts "partition table on device hda was unreadable" 
(this device is hda during the installation), it wants you to create a new 
partition table. I'd rather not as I want to keep some partitions after 
the reinstall.
   	Any ideas?

   						regards,

   						Stephen.
