Even more strangeness: lenny GNU Fdisk 1.2.1 writes a partition which another etch machine can see (util-fdisk): 8 112 8891620 sdh 8 113 7815622 sdh1 8 114 1068322 sdh2 8 115 8883945 sdh3 But when booting the lenny machine with that disk as sole disk the partition goes away: [ 100.144792] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 17783240 512-byte hardware sectors (9105 MB) [ 100.228140] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [ 100.286532] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FUA [ 100.387682] sda: sda1 sda3 [ 100.429180] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk And the etch machines util-fdisk indeed shows the same. As the boot above did stuck in the initramfs who the hell changed the (probably broken) partion table ? silo ? or the kernel 2.6.28x ?
