Re: [Cooker] BETA 1 installation problems (JFS)
Ok, I have now run the lspart-script and it gave me a following output [root@aragorn tmp]# perl lsparts ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1: 2,000 Mbytes, type 0x6 (DOS FAT16) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2: 7 Mbytes, type 0x6 (DOS FAT16) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5: 1,608 Mbytes, type 0x (unknown) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6: 1,207 Mbytes, type 0x (unknown) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part7: 5,506 Mbytes, type 0x (unknown) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part8: 2,698 Mbytes, type 0x (unknown) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part9: 4,996 Mbytes, type 0xc (Win98 FAT32, LBA-mapped) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part10:603 Mbytes, type 0x82 (Linux Swap) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part11: 8,903 Mbytes, type 0x7 (NTFS (or HPFS)) ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part12: 1,741 Mbytes, type 0x7 (NTFS (or HPFS)) ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1:996 Mbytes, type 0x82 (Linux Swap) ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part5: 9,413 Mbytes, type 0x383 (JFS) ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part6: 2,000 Mbytes, type 0x383 (JFS) So, from these JFS-partitions ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part5 is formatted in the OS/2 and and I can mount it by hand from the Linux (but Mandrake installer does not recognize it) and partition ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part6 is formatted by the Linux-installer.

Re: [Cooker] BETA 1 installation problems (JFS)
Yes, I am really sure from that. Maybe the problem is the ID type which according to fdisk is 83 for the partition formatted under Linux and 35 for the partition formatted under OS/2. The output of fdisk will gives me a following: (Id of the JFS-partition formatted by OS/2 is 35 not 83) Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1583 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1457 1583 1020127+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb2 2 1456 11687287+ 5 Extended /dev/hdb5 * 2 1201 9638968+ 35 Unknown /dev/hdb6 * 1202 1456 2048256 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order In addition the blocksize should be 4096 (mkfs.jfs default) in both partitions, because I especially put it to that while formatting /dev/hdb6 under OS/2.

Yes, I am really sure from that. Maybe the problem is the ID type which according to fdisk is 83 for the partition formatted under Linux and 35 for the partition formatted under OS/2. yeah, that's the pb. I only use signature detection for 0x83. I add 0x35 as JFS. You'll tell me if it works in next beta? :) May I ask what is the reason to check partition type at all? I am free to create any file system in any partition for all I can tell... -andrej

In addition the blocksize should be 4096 (mkfs.jfs default) in both partitions, as I especially put it to that while formatting /dev/hdb6 under OS/2. what do you mean with this? what's the point? I think there wasn't any point -:) I was just reading man-pages of mkfs.jfs and there were mentioned that the default blocksize is 4096. (and I remembered that I used exactly that blocksize while formatting the partition under OS/2...) Mika
