I just think you meant 16 GBytes, a root of 16 bytes is a bit small :-)

Thanks but none of those suggestions help.
I'm already using the custom partition layout.
It always comes up with that same error.
As before, a SCSI disk on an Adaptec controller with an
IDE CDROM connected to the onboard IDE controller.
What could be wrong with that?

Hmm. You know, there's an old problem with various IDE controllers and
sets of SCSI controllers, where different kernels with different
modules hardcoded or dynamically loaded wind up with those devices in
different "order", and I seem to remember some oddness with certain
configurations if you had the CD drive as the "master" device on the
"primary" controller, and oh-dear-Ghu, the craziness with Promise
controllers when Promise rewrote their published drivers to always
list their controllers as the primary device, even if the BIOS thought
they were a secondary controller. (It made the higher speed RAID
enabled devices show up as /dev/hda and /dev/hdb, instead of /dev/hde
and /dev/hdf.)

The point is that it might be worth reviewing your BIOS settings and
starting with them in defaults, especilly if you've been mucking
around with them, and doing just what our friends and colleagues
suggest: hit "Ctrl-Alt-F2' to get the text screen during installation
steps, and type 'fdisk -l' to get the output.
