[H-GEN] Need help during install, or just after ;)

[Michael]

Hi,

I just got a brand new 6.4gig hdd installed and i partitioned it as such:

/dev/hdb7	Swap		128M	
/dev/hdb8	/		500M	*
/dev/hdb9	/home		100M
/dev/hdb10	/usr/X11R6	450M
/dev/hdb11	/usr	      1000M

Now when i come to set up the "target" drives and format them 1 inode per
1024 bytes i believe i chose it seems to format hdb8 and hdb9 drives okish
but when it comes to 10 and 11 it just seems to flick through the screen as
if it hadn't formatted them correctly.  So i continue thru the install and
when i reboot i get the following error messages

e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdb10
The
superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct
ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an
ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the
superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate
superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

Then the lot dies and tells me to
reboot, this is the second time this has happened, ive done everything
right should i give up on trying to install slackware and install
FreeBSD/RedHat instead?

Any help would be really welcome about now.. :>

Michael.
