Dear Ming-Hong,
the only partiton related problem that we have seen with LCFGng
is if the disk has more than 4 partitions on it. The install then
fails at the stage where the disks are initialized.
Maybe there is a problem with the size of the disk and lcfgng.
Try to change the configuration that it uses only a fixed size
and doesn't use what is left to fill up the last partition.
I'll forward your mail to our local LCFGng expert.
markus
p.s. what is the size of your disks?
