I've tried to create a Linux swap file, but when I run fdisk, it looks like this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 3644 29270398+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 3645 3737 747022+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdb5 3645 3737 746991 82 Linux swap Why is this W95 partition existing in the same place as my Linux swap? I would have thought they'd be incompatible. Can my Linux OS use this Linux swap? Does this need cleaning up, and if so how? Dave

Hello Gene, thanks for your reply. Yes BIOS mode. The config wants a menu, which loads fine under ext4 and not under btrfs. Under btrfs I have also tried to remove the syslinux.cfg file altogether (which should trigger the boot: prompt if I am not mistaken) and the result is the same: only the copyright line appears and no prompt. The three letter sequence is EDD. The disk is 160GB, here is the f...

...wrong or point me in a new direction for research. The hardware: We have an Acer G700 server which comes with 8 internal hot swap SCSI bays connected to an Adaptec SCSI HBA. There are two banks of 4 drives connect to each of the two channels of the Adaptec HBA. To this we have added an IBM EXP400 external array with 12 hot swap SCSI drives connected to an LSI MegaRAID HBA. 36GB drives were used throughout. The external drives were configured as 6 mirror pairs through the MegaRAID BIOS. The OS install: When I installed CentOS 4 originally I allowed the installer to configure the 8 internal dri...

Hi, Yesterday I nuked an old fat32 partition on my hard drive using fdisk. I just destroyed the partition and then created a new linux partition. Then I created an ext3 filesystem with the following command mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/hdc1 Everything seemed fine so I went ahead and moved all my music (MP3s and FLACS) onto that partition. This morning when I turn on my computer I can't mount that partition! It just says it can't read the superblock. Nor can fsck r...

...ng cursor without keyboard control (can't type). No boot: prompt, no menu, no response to CTRL-ALT-DEL (have to power off to reboot). I am following the steps in Arch's beginner wiki and their syslinux page (tried both the script provided by Arch and the manual method). When I do this over ext4, everything works as expected, the copyright line appears briefly then the menu pops up. No go with btrfs no matter what I tried. So either it's a bug, or maybe I am repeatedly missing a step? It looks to me like the ldlinux.sys code embedded in the first 64k of the btrfs partition crashes bu...

Hello all, First off, thanks for the great work. I have recently added "more submenus" to a functioning advanced menu that only had one "submenu off of the main menu before" The addition of the new submenus has caused the main menu to not function correctly and I have been pouring over the code for several weeks and I just cannot see the error that I have introduced.
