| Post subject: | Install Problem - Not Recognizing The Hard Drive |
Hoping someone can help me. I am fairly technical, more software then hardware and completely new to Linux. I am trying to install KnoppMyth and it could not find the hard drive. I verified that is in connected (it is SATA drive and the only one in the machine) and from the bios screen the system is recognizing it. So I ran GParted and created 3 partitions (5000 MB, 775 MB, and remainder) all with JFS file system and the first one is flagged as boot. They are called: /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sda3. Error: Formatting of /dev/hda1 failed. Some message from mkfs.ext3: mke2fs 1.36 (05-Feb-2005) mkfs.ext3: No such device or address while trying to determine files system size. I then reran GParted and made 1 big partition formatted with ext3 and same results. |

You didn't say what type of install you're trying to do, but for SATA, you've got to use the manaul install rather than auto. There's a configuration script on the CD that makes this somewhat easier. Searching for "SATA install" should turn up something like this... Quote: In manual install, when you 'load configuration' instead of /KNOPPIX/knoppmyth, use /KNOPPIX/knoppmyth-sata. There's more information in the Phamplet at - http://www.mysettopbox.tv/doc.html#manualinstall

Thanks. It worked and it is installing as I write. The posting http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4855&highlight=tokens did the trick. |
