Hello! I have problem installing Debian on my system. I have Debian on a CD (quite old version from 1999) which I had installed on my Amiga before my old HD crashed. Now I have PowerFlyer from Elbox and 30GB HD. When I try to install Debian at the point I want to use "mke2fs -c /dev/hda4 /mnt/root" I get a message: mke2fs 1.12, 9-Jul-98 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 mke2fs: bad blocks count - /mnt/root Can anyone tell me whats wrong? -- Regards, __ __ / // / Bartosz --> Bazant <-- Sokolowski __ __ / // / A1200T(OS3.9) 68040/33 PPC603e/270 BVisionPPC 80MB RAM \ \\ / // / \ \/ / / Amiga - not different for difference's, \__/\_/ sake, different because it's BETTER ! |

I have a Power Flyer and know that they are not supported in Linux, (Elbox won't release details IIRC), so I have to use 'noscsi' in the command line when launching. So don't know if that will correct it for you? Good luck.

How are your partitions organized? Next strange behavior is when I use mke2fs -c /dev/hda4, preparing the filesystem starts but after a whiele (5-10 sec.) I get kernel panic :-( Can anyone who have the PowerFlyer describe to me in private how he has done the Debian installation? -- Regards, __ __ / // / Bartosz --> Bazant <-- Sokolowski __ __ / // / A1200T(OS3.9) 68040/33 PPC603e/270 BVisionPPC 80MB RAM \ \\ / // / \ \/ / / Amiga - not different for difference's, \__/\_/ sake, different because was BETTER ! |

Seems I've got the same hardware config (1 HD and 1 CD drive both on 1st i/f). -- Best regards, __ __ / // / Bartosz --> Bazant <-- Sokolowski __ __ / // / A1200T(OS3.9) 68040/33 PPC603e/270 BVisionPPC 80MB RAM \ \\ / // / \ \/ / / Amiga - not different for difference's, \__/\_/ sake, different because was BETTER ! |

They were 3 called 'Debian 2.2 r2 ppc Bin-?_NONUS', (? =3D 1, 2 and 3), but I believe there are more up-to-date images available now. >> This is using a Power Flyer i/f and only having access to Primary and >> Slave on the 1st i/f. > Seems I've got the same hardware config (1 HD and 1 CD drive both on > 1st i/f). Yep, meant to say Master and Slave on the Primary i/f, (means the same) ;-) Regards -- = John The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that the first one was useless. -- Chamfort mailto:ch...@la... or mailto:lor...@uk... http://www.lordofchaos.co.uk ICQ 110130385 = Nick =3D Chaos A1200 BlizzardPPC 240mhz 060/50 BlizzardVision OS3.9 |
