- I have a system with 386DX/25, 8Mb RAM, IDE disk, AHA1542B and Fujitsu
- SCSI disk, Linux 0.97-pl1.5.).
- On my IDE driver I have one primary partition for dos, one small
- primary partition for Linux root, and one extended partition all for
- OS/2. On the SCSI disk I have three primary partitions for Linux,
- (two for data, one for swap) and one big extended partition divided
- two logical partitions, one for DOS and one for OS/2.
-
- My problem is this. When I boot Linux from floppy, everything is OK.
- In the boot up message, it stated that the primary and all the logical
- partitions are recongnized.
-
- However, if I boot the same image from hard disk, (shoelace installed)
- at boot up, it stated that the primary partitions are OK, the logical
- partition on IDE is recongnized, but for the SCSI disk, the primary
- partitions are recongnized , the logical partitions on the extended
- partitions are NOT recongnized, it gives error messages 'cann't read
- partition table on device 804' or something like that. Then I cann't
- access the extended partition on SCSI disk.
- Note that when I boot from floppy everything is fine, I CAN access
- the extended partition on the SCSI disk just fine.
-
- Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
-
- Thanks in advance.
