Hello,
I've downloaded and written the floppy images found at the URL you
referred for the 2.4.20pre4 build. However, I get the exact same
problem when I use fdisk. :(
Highpoint's website has source code for the Linux drivers. In order
to use that, I'd have to compile my own kernel - unfortunately, I don't
have the tools for that. Even so, I don't know if drivers are the
issue, or if it's something I'm just doing wrong. So far I have no
evidence of what the problem could be. After all, why does fdisk write
one of the four partitions I wanted rather than none at all? What
happens during that call to ioctl() that takes so long (about 40
seconds)? The DOS fdisk takes an instant to write the partition table,
but I can't use that fdisk for marking filesystems to be type 82/83,
which is what I need.
Your help is appreciated Eduard, any other suggestions (from you or
anyone else who has a better clue than me) would be wonderful.
Thanks,
-David Fuchs
