Hi, everybody. I'm a new user to Linux and is currently having some problem
installing it to my IBM PS/ValuePoint machine. I desperately need help from
you experts.
After booting disks a1 and inserting a2, I typed FDISK at the prompt. I got
the following error:
# fdisk
Unable to read /dev/hda
I've already freed up a 60MB partition on my hard disk and removed that
partition
from DOS's fdisk. I've tried the same process on several other machines and
the installations are successful.
My config is:
IBM PS/ValuePoint (486SX/25)
165M IDE hard disk - Sides = 10
Tracks = 970
Sectors per track = 34
Does anybody have a clue on that? Returning by mail (edmund@gnct.com) is
preferable, or just post it here if you like.
Thanks in advance.
Edmund.
