Hi,
I though i would give Mandrake 10 Community ago as I have basicly knackered
9.2 by continual fiddling <img src="http://www.pl-forum.de/UltraBoard/Images/Happy.gif" border="0" align="middle"> (but thats the fun isn't it!) Booted of the
first CD, selected my keyboard and was told my "partition table is too
corrupt" with an offer to wipe my HD clean, how nice.
Fdisk dosn't think its "too corrupt" <img src="http://www.pl-forum.de/UltraBoard/Images/TooHappy.gif" border="0" align="middle">gt;
[root@xxxxxxxxx hiho]# fdisk /dev/hda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 79780. <- (is this ok?)
Command (m for help): p
Die Anzahl der Zylinder für diese Platte ist auf 79780 gesetzt.
Daran ist nichts verkehrt, aber das ist größer als 1024 und kann
in bestimmten Konfigurationen Probleme hervorrufen mit:
1) Software, die zum Bootzeitpunkt läuft (z. B. ältere LILO-Versionen)
2) Boot- und Partitionierungssoftware anderer Betriebssysteme
(z. B. DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Befehl (m für Hilfe): p
Platte /dev/hda: 41.1 GByte, 41174138880 Byte
16 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 79780 Zylinder
Einheiten = Zylinder von 1008 * 512 = 516096 Bytes
Gerät Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 32940 16601728+ 83 Linux

/dev/hda6 33813 79780 23167840+ 83 Linux
Any ideas how to check for /fix the problem or is this a bug in MDK10s
installer? or are 79780 cylinders a problem?, I though that was just old
software.
