A/UX 3.1 Update CD and Macintosh Partition Problem (6/94)

I tried to update my A/UX computer to version 3.1, and I get a message telling me the installation was not successful, and that the original system was restored. Why is this happening?

If your Macintosh Partition has insufficient space to have its software updated, the installer may inform you that installation was not successful and your original system software has been restored, but will not tell you why. You may have added files to your Macintosh Partition which is taking up the space needed.

If you have this problem with your Macintosh Partition when using the A/UX 3.1 update CD, try one of the following:

* Remove unnecessary files from your Macintosh Partition and try updating
again.

* The default Macintosh Partition is 4 MB to maximize the space available
to A/UX. Other partition options are available as custom selections
within HD╩SC Setup. If you need to use additional software in your
Macintosh Partition beyond what is necessary to boot and maintain A/UX,
the default 4╩MB Macintosh Partition size may be insufficient for your
needs. If this is so, you may need to re-partition the drive using
either one of the pre-set custom partition maps, or one you create so
that your Macintosh Partition will be large enough to accommodate your
needs.

IMPORTANT: Using HD SC Setup to change the size of ANY partition will
require that you re-initialize your entire hard drive.
Because of this, you MUST re-install all of A/UX and your
server's applications as well, so it is VITAL that you backup
your data, and restore it after re-installation is complete.
