I had the same problem. The second media works, the first got
screwed up? I can't reproduce the problem now.
The media gets destroyed after partitioning and running mke2fs.
I can't believe it myself - but have no other explanation.
When the media was broken I got:
<7>VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,64)
<6> /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0:<7>LDM: DEBUG (ldm.c, 877):
validate_partition_table: Found basic MS-DOS partition, not a dynamic
disk.
<4> p1 p2 p3 p4
<7>VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,65)
<6> /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0:<7>LDM: DEBUG (ldm.c, 877):
validate_partition_table: Found basic MS-DOS partition, not a dynamic
disk.
<4> p1 p2 p3 p4
[and so on with funny device numbers up to 3,93]
cat /proc/partitions
3 64 98288 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc
3 65 272218546 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1
3 66 269488144 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part2
3 67 699181456 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part3
3 68 10668 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part4
Note: a new media has NO partition - it's a floppy.
Now is it possible that the media gets destroyed if the hardware
tries to seek to illegal positions?
