Hi, I'm having problems with partitioning the disk. These are the steps that I follow: fdisk /dev/sda; create a primary partition; write the table; exit fdisk; mke2fs -j /dev/sda1 sync reboot
Now, almost everytime after the reboot the partition table seems to be gone and fdisk /dev/sda gives me the following message: Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) I've tried this on kernel 2.4.20, 2.5.63 and 2.5.64, all giving the same result. (output of /proc/bus/usb/devices below) Anyone an idea ?
