I just reverified things. /dev/hda1 = Type 83, mke2fs was ran with a -o hurd ok...so mke2fs is 1.15 (of course, latest potato)...I will go grab and older version and try with that since everything else is as it should. > Because the rest of your setup is absolutely standard (IDE, first partition > on first disk, that's amazingly easy to get running, if you know how :), I > suspect the problem is somewhere above, probably the partition type. > > If nothing above helps, write us again.
