=A0I have a large (3GB) NTFS primary partition
and a similar sized FAT32 D: drive. =A0I tried to use an ext2 filesyste=
m and swap
files allocated after these two partitions and received exactly the sam=
e errors.

I noticed that during the install bootup regardless of the disk geometr=
y that I
used/was detected linux always said something about 7.5GB drive on /dev=
/hda (I
have a 10GB drive). =A0Using this clue I used Partition Magic to shrink=
 everything
on my hard disk to around the 7GB mark (extended partition and all logi=
cal
partitions). =A0I rebooted and was able to install ok!!!

My ultimate work around was as follows:

   Delete the ext2 partition
   Use Partition Magic to Move the FAT32 partition to the end of the dr=
ive next
   to the 2 swap partitions
   Allocate (with partition magic) an ext2 partition as the first logic=
al
   partition
   Install then works fine and uses the new ext2 and the already alloca=
ted swap
   partition

   Hope this helps.....now if only I could get the CS4614 in my system =
to work
   with ALSA!!!
