KS won't partition drives

[Scott Weston]

Thanks. So I guess what we have to use is /boot / and swap then huh? Is
there any other way to work around this?

hi

The problem here is
you cannot ask the kernel to make more partitions than the first three
primary partitions
if the partitioning no is less than or equal to 3 then it will be done
automatically

also
i have a slight different opinion for what james has written
actually we can do software raid for swap also

regards
John
