What are you trying to put in there? Ie how are your partitions mounted? 1G is definitely too small if it includes /usr, and even too small if it does not. > Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary > /dev/sda2 14 976 7727104 83 Linux How is /dev/sda2 mounted? If it is not /usr, or / then you are screwed. A modern distro needs 6GB min to install in / including /usr, /var,.... What does /etc/fstab say? > Partition 2 does not end of cylinder boundary > /dev/sda3 976 1106 1048576 82 > Linux swap/Solaris > > > > > /dev/sda1 *
