- Note: This a agrees with the what the NORTON utilities say. An YES, I know
- these 4 partitions don't fill the disk: 1 & 2 are for DOS, 3 and 4 are
- for Linux, but the (current) 64 Mbyte limit prevents using bigger partitions
- until later (soon?).
- Partition table ok
- After feeding the floppy the 0.97.1 root disk:
- 325 buffers = 332800 bytes buffer space
- Free mem: 15568896 bytes
- Welcome to the Linux V0.97.1 root disk
- Now, logging in as root:
- # mkfs -c /dev/hda3 61440
- 20480 inodes
- 61440 blocks
- Firstdtazone = 653 (653)
- Zonesize = 1024
- Maxsize = 268966912
- HD: read_intr: status = 0x51
- HD: read_intr: error = 0x10
- HD: read_intr: status = 0x51
- HD: read_intr: error = 0x10
- HD: read_intr: status = 0x51
- HD: read_intr: error = 0x10
- HD-controller reset
- Kernel panic: Trying to write bad sector
- In swapper task - not syncing
- At this point, there is not "#" prompt, but the keyboard is still active
- in the sense that keystrokes are echoed and the "delete" key does the
- right thing.
-
- Anybody got any ideas, suggestions?
