First of all, the error is "Out of disk", not > "Out of memory", my bad "Out of disk" is a very different error from "Out of memory". "Out of disk" means that you have a buggy BIOS which can't handle large drives properly. To work around this create a small /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net)
