Did you make a filesystem on the new partition? Did you get a warning from fdisk saying "device busy, reboot to ensure the partition table is updated"? Yes I did create a new partition and yes I did receive this message and the machine was rebooted. A friend said he was able to get this to work with 5.2 but he has IDE drives. I have SCSI. I don't know if this could make a difference. I am running the 2.2.16 kernel. I was hoping this was something simple. Like maybe I need an updated version of mount or something. I really would like to get this thing up and running. Could you give me a solution. I will provide more detail to assist you. I am running a Adaptec 29160 SCSI adapter with an IBM drive @ 80 Mb per sec. I replaced my existing adapter with this new one. The Linux was already installed when I made this change. When I boot it does see and use a 160 Mb transfer speed Adaptec driver. I can run Linux with no other difficulties. Doing a 6.2 install I created a 50M dos partition. On reboot the partition was not mounted. I use mkdosfs to make a dos filesystem on /dev/sda2. I made a mount point /mnt/dos. I went into linuxconf and down to the local filesystems menu, mount, and then specified the device was /dev/sda2, they type was msdos and the mount point was /mnt/dos. linuxconf had no trouble mounting the partition. Did you 1 make a dos filesystem on the partition? 2 create a mount point? 3 Fill in the required parameters on the mount menu? if you have set up all of the above, you should be able to write at a prompt: mount -t msdos /dev/sda2 /mnt/dos Some additional information that may help in this case: I went into fdisk. Created a parition of type 6 with no problems. Rebooted the machine. Confirmed the partion was there. Went into linuxconf and created the filesystem under Linux. Established the mount point as /mnt/data. chmod 775. I recieved the following errors when attempting to mount this partion as type msdos. Checking base configuration Checkin Kernel's modules Mounting local volumes Executing /bin/mount -t msdos -o exec, dev, suid, rw /dev/sda2 /mnt/data * mount fs type msdos not supported by kernel * return 32 Checking file permissions Checking LILO Executing some Sysv init scripts Executing /dev/rc.d/rc5.d/S10network.reload Executing /dev/rc.d/rc5.d/S14nfslock.restart Restarting NFS file locking services.rpc.lockd [FAILED] locksvr: Function not implemented [FAILED] rpc.statd [OK] [OK] done. Hopefully this helps you identify my problem. Try using mount -t vfat instead of mount -t msdos. Are you still getting any errors? Closing due to lack of feedback I didn't respond because it took too long to get any answers. I didn't want to wait any longer and decided to buy the 7.0 version. Great marketing tool. Just buy the new version when something doesn't work. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I solved the problem by purchasing version 7.0. |
