Hi. I am trying to install SLS 1.01 (it is the one on
sunsite yesterday) and I had problems with fdisk and mke2fs.
When I check my set up in fdisk I am told the following:
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 17 sectors, 936 cylinders
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 1 610 82959+ 81 Linux/MINIX
/dev/hda2 611 611 912 41072 81 Linux/MINIX
/dev/hda3 913 913 936 3264 81 Linux/MINIX
The problem was related to /dev/hda1 and said something about an odd
number of sectors. Do you know what this means? Is it an error which
should be corrected or am I ok leaving things the way they are? By
the way, each of the partitions were created as primary partitions.
(Is this correct also?)
When I run mke2fs on /dev/hda2 I enter the following command:
mke2fs -c /dev/hda2 41072
the program responds with:
mke2fs 0.2c+, 93/03/22 for EXT2 FS alpha 0.2b, 93/03/01
Block Log Size=0
Fragment Log Size=0
10272 idones
41072 blocks
2053 blocks reserved for root
First Data Block=1 (1)
BlockSize=1024
6 Blocks Groups
8192 Blocks per Group
8192 Fragments per Group
1712 Inodes per Group
Group = 5
mke2fs: Unable to find a block for the inode table.
Can you tell me how to fix either/both of these problems? If they are
be answered in FAQs somewhere, please send pointers them.
Aside from this, I installed SLS when it was shipped with 0.99pl4 and
this installation is MUCH nicer. Thanks guys!
Please respond via e-mail since my news connections is not entirely
reliable. I can be reached at jarreau@vuse.vanderbilt.edu
Thanks!
