That's from parted, but if you've blown it away, there's a good chance that there's not much more that can be done for it now :/ I've still got a room full of the machines running 8.0, so if it's at all reproducible I should be able to do so ;-) can you reproduce this and make sure to get the partition table off the drive with "dd if=/dev/hda of=bs.bin count=2048 count=1" ? any luck? I'll try to reproduce it when I'm back in town from this business trip.... Thanks. any luck? I'll get back next Wed or Thursday (maybe later if we have more @#$% snow like I encountered trying to get to Boston ;-) Any luck? I just tried on another one of the machines -- it upgraded successfully I'm going to close this out. I can't reproduce it on the two boxes I've tried, so there's not a lot you can do about whatever might have caused it the first time.... |
I have several machines with the following drive in them: [root@winsucks root]# hdparm -i /dev/hda /dev/hda: Model=SAMSUNG SV2001H, FwRev=QN100-07, SerialNo=0399J1DRA16750 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=38997, SectSize=619, ECCbytes=4 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=1945kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=39179952 IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5 AdvancedPM=no WriteCache=enabled Drive conforms to: ATA/ATAPI-6 T13 1410D revision 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 [root@winsucks root]# On the first of these machines which I tried upgrading from 8.0 to beta4, I got an error message: "partition table of unexpected type loop for your arch" I was only able to install beta4 by re-initializing the partition table and doing a fresh install. Upgrading was not an option.
