Subject: Unsupported partition table

    Greeting all

    I have a SparcStation IPX I am trying to load SuSE
    Linux on. One of the drives on the SCSI bus is a
    Seagate Elite9 9GB Hard drive, mounted in a 811 box.
    I previously used this drive on my Linux PC. The
    install keeps telling me that "The disk has an
    unsupported partition table, please re-partition."
    I keep changing the partition table and I keep getting
    the same results. What am I doing wrong?????

    The system is an IPX w/ PowerUp, 2GB drive internally,
    9GB drive externally. Is there any other data that I
    should provide from my IPX?? Please let me know.

    One more thing I was given this IPX; and I am new to
    the world of Sparcs.
