Installation - installer will not umount new swap trio3b - 28.11.2006, 01:11 Uhr Titel: installer will not umount new swap
Installed Kanotix 32 onto Celeron 300 w/192 mb RAM. and hda with two FAT32 partitions.
hda1 - W2000
hda2 - files
Deleted hda1 and created root, home and swap with qparted, but I realized that I set swap at .512 thinking GB was the unit being used. As it turns out however it was .512 mb. Upon installation received notice that swap was too small so I tried to delete in order to resize, but no matter what I did I could not unmount the partition. I tried to delete all other partitions and start from scratch - no luck. Tried other combinations.
Logged onto console as root - tried to umount - output indicates swap is NOT mounted! .
Had to use my Mandrake 10.2 install disk (which has never failed me) to delete and recreate these partitions. Installation went fine but am curious as to why I could not unmount that swap partition?
Any thoughts appreciated
Thanks

Well were you "IN" kanotix trying to delete it or were you using the live cd ???

This was during HD installation to hda1 using live cd and was able to mount and unmount root and home partitions that I had created, but not swap.
