Default Slackware 9.1 on HP Proliant DL360

Hi

I'm having some newbie problems installing slackware 9.1 on our new HP
Proliant DL360. After I'm booting with e.x. kernel raid.s and try to
use cfdisk for partioning, I only get 649.80 mb displayed as free
space.

I've also tried scsi.s, scsi2.s and scsi3.s

Anyone who knows what I'm dooing wrong ?

- Peter

Did you delete existing partitions? Does cfdisk display partioins
actively? I always use fdisk, and you have to press 'p' to display the
partition table with it. Anyway, if the space is already allocated, that
would seriously cut down on your free space.

I've tried booting the kernel with raid.s and afterwards use cfdisk..
it works now. I now have 146 GB of space

Thanks anyway.
