Subject: installing on a new PowerBook
Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2000 17:32:22 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <39CEAB4D.C07E39A7@Colorado.EDU> (raw)
I just got one of the brand new Pismo PowerBooks (supposedly identical
to the previous generation, but with larger HDs, 20 GB in my case). I
haven't been able to boot it at all. Everytime I boot, I get the
following kernel output regarding my drive:
hda: IBM-DJSA-220, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x8x01f000-0x8e01f007, 0x8e01f160 on irq 19

It finds the bus and the drive, but hangs trying to mount. So, I tried
to reinitialize the device map using pdisk. Unfortunately, pdisk run
under the MacOS is unable to recognize the device (I type "e
/dev/ata2.0" at the command prompt, but it says "pdisk: can't open file
'/dev/ata2.0'"). From the get info in MacOS, I know that the hard drive
is id 0 on bus 2 of the ata, so that command should be correct. pdisk,
however, only recognizes '/dev/ata0.0', which is the internal DVD-ROM
drive.
How can I get Linux to recognize the drive? Will downloading the newest
dev. kernel from Paul M's site help, or am I stuck? Why doesn't pdisk
recongnize my drive?
