Installation of DoC, HELP...

Installation of DoC, HELP...

[Gregory Janiszewski]

Hi,

I've got a big problem, I can't install my DoC2000 under Linux.
I work with the RedHat 7.3, with a 2.4.18 kernel.

I follow the step described in the "mtd-jffs-HOWTO.txt" document for a 2.4.x
kernel, with the latest mtd cvs.

The kernel seems to work fine but I can't access the DoC with a fdisk or
mk2fs commands.
I've got this dmesg :

*******************

*********************

I use a PCI evaluation board with a MD2202-D48-X DoC2000.
RedHat 7.3 on a Pentium 4.


So I try to format and partition the Doc with "fdisk /dev/nftla", but the
command "freeze", nothing append ???

Maybe you have an url that explain step by step, how to install a DoC2000 ?
I need your help, thank you.

Can you show us your autoconfig file (config file of
linux kernel).

Thanks.

You may want to try reformatting your DOC with an earlier (4.2) version of 
the M-Sys DFORMAT program.  This should make the "UnitSizeFactor" equal to 1.
