Hi.

The latest adventure is the installation of a MAXTOR 6.4GB drive.  First,
Disk Druid kept insisting that I hadn't defined a swap partition although I
definitely had.  I used fdisk to get around this problem and now, at least,
the swap partition seems to be ok.  However, after building all the
filesystems, the install fails (at the end of course after 10-15 minutes of
processing) with a message of 'mount failed'.  That's it.  I have no idea
what is going on or how to begin to debug it.  Any ideas would be very
definitely welcome.

Cheers.
