3.7Linux RedHat Installation Notes

Due to the compatibility limitation between Linux RedHat 7.3 (and up) and some types of HDD, the following warning message may appear during Linux installation:

The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/hd*

Device or resource busy, this means Linux knows nothing about any modifications you made. You should reboot your computer before doing anything with /dev/hd* (hd* refers to the HDD’s method of connection, e.g. , the master device of IDE0 is /dev/had while the master device of IDE1 is /dev/hdc).

In this case, you can select the “Ignore” key until the warning message window is closed. T hen you may encounter two different possibilities depending on whether the Linux partition on the HDD wasimplemented the first time or not.

First possibility:

When the HDD has RedHat 7.3 (and up) present in the Linux partition (and the current installation is only for modifying, deleting, or adding a Linux partition), then the installation program will continue with the rest of the process.

Second possibility:

When the HDD does not have RedHat 7.3 (and up) present in the Linux partition (even if there is any other type of partition existing, e.g., NTFS), the installation program may show this message –

An error occurred trying to initializ e swap on device hdc3, this problem is serious and the installation cannot continue, Press Enter to reboot your system

to suggestthat you reboot your system. T hen you can re- install RedHat 7.3 (and up) to solve this issue (you may encounter the warning message on the first possibility, just ignore it).

NOTES:

The above possibilities may occur when you use a type of HDD which is not compatible with Linux O/S. I f you use the latest version (e.g., Linux RedHat 9.0 or the new Seagate Alpine series HDD ), then the above possibilities may not occur.

The above possibilities will not affect system performance.
