Is there a known problem with formatting ext3 partitions on AMD-64
I have a machine I am trying to install Debian on. It is an AMD-64 and has a DPT RAID card. The disks appear on the I2O bus. The Debian installer recognises them (once I have told it to load the right driver), and partitions them, but there is a problem when it comes to formatting them for EXT-3. Either through the installer, or manually on VC2, the format seems to go OK, but when I come to mount it, mount complains of an invalid parameter. The manual mount command I tried was:- mount -t ext3 /dev/i2o/hda/part1 /target /target exists, as does the /dev/i2o/hda/part1. The I2O maintainer is a bit confused as to why the disk is not called /dev/i2o/hda1, but that appears to be a Debianism. I also tried putting a small IDE drive on this box, and then I tried to format it using the installer, and that hung at 100%.

Re: Open office
Hi Although I run my 64Studio for music I really miss Open office. We often get asked to produce CD covers and such for our master CD's. I can us OO for this but not on 64. Its a shame as most of my Windoze people are really impressed with Linux on seeing this setup. We can only wait as I have no understanding of a '32bit cherroot(?)' Just my 2 p's worth Cheers Bob Charles de Miramon wrote: Hamish Moffatt wrote: You can use Goswin's unofficial amd64-archive package to get this working.

The steps are well laid out and FWIW, I'd never set up a chroot before this one. https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id220463 Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

RE: Is there a known problem with formatting ext3 partitions on AMD-64
I have done quite a few installations onto different hardware/storage devices and have only had one issue quite recently using an intel (megaraid) SATA controller and that was hardware related, I could see the logical raid 5 device as /dev/sda and I could partition it but when doing a mke2fs -j /dev/sda1 right at the end of creating the ext3 filesystem it would kernel panic.

Re: Open office
Ubuntu breezy has a working 32bit behind the scenes version that works quite well here. See what they are doing.

Should be OK; you shouldn't need to specify -t ext3 as it should be automatically determined. What does ls /dev/i2o/hda/part1 show? I'm running ext3 on amd64 and I suspect lots of people here are doing the same, so I don't think that's your problem.
