Hey guys,
I got a trouble that I cannot mkfs or mke2fs. I have the latest
a1.3 from tsx-11.mit.edu. It boots ok but when it check my 311MB scsi
drive, it showed that was a Adaptec 1542. However, my drive is an Adaptec
1540. Does it make difference???
Also, when I fdisk, it told me certain sectors were bad and cannot
" mkfs ". When I do " mkfs ", it cannot and come out "bad sector before the
data block, sector number ____ ".
Can somebodies help me out?! I will be appreciated.
It would be more convinent if the comments are sent directly
to my account which is :
st1dm@jetson.uh.edu
Thank you very much.
Long
