The saga continues. grml wants 2.7 Gb and I've only got 2
Gb to give it. So, grml-small. That didn't work either:
grml2hd partition=/dev/hdc2 filesystem=ext2 user=keeling
No matter what, the window popped up and said:
Error: partition /dev/hdc2 does not seem to be an existing
partiton.
"fdisk -l /dev/hdc2" said:
Disk /dev/hdc2 doesn't contain a valid partition table.
I repartioned with grml fdisk, cfdisk, and finally qtparted (the
latter simply locked up when trying to create a Linux swap ptn). I
tried ext3, I mkfs'ed it. Nothing. Here's what disk_stat and sfdisk
said about it all:
---------------------------------------
root at grml ~ # disk_stat /dev/hdc
Maximum Disk Sector: 4124735
Maximum User Sector: 4124735
(Disk does not support HPA)
root at grml ~ # sfdisk -V /dev/hdc
end of partition 1 has impossible value for head: 63 (should be in 0-15)
1 root at grml ~ # sfdisk -l /dev/hdc :(
Disk /dev/hdc: 4092 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track
Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
for C/H/S=*/64/63 (instead of 4092/16/63).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
Units = cylinders of 2064384 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

---------------------------------------
It's an ST32122A, 2014.03 Mb. I have dmesg.txt.gz, info.tar.bz2,
kern.log.gz, and messages.gz if anyone wants to look at them. I
suppose it's entirely possible that this disk just isn't up to it.
Time to pull out another and try again.
