Description of problem: After an installation with dual-arch I installed a complete set of repositories (via mcc) and then an update with urpmi --auto-update. During this I got this error twice. 1. with mageia-theme-Default, which killed the standard background 2. with the new kernel The message was completed by: defaulting background resolution to 1024x768 The restart was OK [root@tux_edge magnus]# LC_ALL=C fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60022480896 bytes 32 heads, 32 sectors/track, 114483 cylinders, total 117231408 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x373996e4 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1024 14682111 7340544 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14682087 115346431 50332172+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 14682144 18877439 2097648 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 18877472 69210111 25166320 83 Linux /dev/sda7 69210144 83891199 7340528 83 Linux /dev/sda8 83891232 92280831 4194800 83 Linux /dev/sda9 92280864 106961919 7340528 83 Linux /dev/sda10 106961952 115346431 4192240 83 Linux Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
What's the full error message you got? just the one in the report summary?
Yes this was all. The message appeared five times and finished with the message about the display. Then urpmi continued
Start diskdrake from terminal as root and see if you get the same message. And post the output here.

Error: Can't have overlapping partitions. I have made the partitions not with diskdrake. I used fdisk, to get it especially for my ssd

This is libparted complaining about your partitions. diskdrake should still work fine as we only try to use libparted in case there is GPT.
Thanks for the information. I will install another beta2 (64-bit) and will look. I think the bug can be closed
As expected same error after installation with dvd 64-bit. Not so nice is the killed default background.

Any news? Of course I hope the bug can be closed :)

If you fill sda1, the partition table in the extended partition will be overwritten, effectively deleting all other partitions. The error message is correct.

Sorry mistype. Note that the end of sda1 14682111 is greater than the start of sda2 14682087.

As per comment 10, the partitioning done using fdisk did create overlapping partitions, which should not be done. I'll close this bug as invalid. Feel free to re-open, if I'm mis-interpreting the situation.
