LL2 not booting if one extended partition is formatted to FAT 32
#6
I'm not sure what the problem is.  Maybe FAT32 format can not be used for such a large partition.  Have read that there is normally a size limit of 32GB in MS Windows for FAT32 partitions, but did not think that applied to Linux as well.  Maybe it does.  I don't know since I've not tried that.

You're not assigning the FAT32 partition a mount point of "/" or "/home", are you?

When you install and are asked for a mount point for the FAT32 partition, what are you filling in for the mount point?

As an experiment, try using NTFS format instead and see if that works.  It should.

Do you have to use FAT32 for some reason?  Could you use NTFS instead (assuming that experiment works)?
