I have been working on a friends computer which is duel booting into Mandrake and WindowsXP. I replaced the XP boot manager as I had to reinstall XP. After doing that I reinstalled Lilo without any hitches but upon bootup I got this error.

Starting Partmon: Checking if partitions have enough diskspace:
Warning, freespace for </> is only <0> (which is inferior to <20000>

But that is the only fault and if I log in at the prompt and check everything, it all seems to be OK. All the Linux folders are there, including the home directory. Like I hav'nt installed Windows on the wrong partition or anything stupid like that.
Can anyone point me in a general direction to check something that may be causing this please??

PS I did see at the initial bootup screen something about a swap problem, but when I checked it all out it is all there as it should be......This has got me stuffed and frustrated.

I don't know if this is at all relevant but I did recently read that you should always instal Linux after Windows (i.e. reinstalling Windows after Linux is on board can be problematic). I don't pretend to understand why as I'm new to Linux but for what it's worth ......

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
