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? > > Joseph Cheek wrote: > > > >> i've tried 2.4.7-ac10 and 2.4.9-ac10. same results. at boot i get: > >> > >> Sep 17 11:02:48 seattle kernel: ide-floppy driver 0.97.sv > >> Sep 17 11:02:48 seattle kernel: hdd: No disk in drive > >> Sep 17 11:02:48 seattle kernel: hdd: 98304kB, 96/64/32 CHS, 4096 kBps, > >> 512 > >> sector size, 2941 rpm > >> > >> looks good, right? but i put a disk in and i get: > >> > >> Sep 17 14:36:23 seattle kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 0, key > >> = > >> 2, asc = 30, ascq = 0 > >> Sep 17 14:36:23 seattle kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 1b, key > >> = > >> 2, asc = 30, ascq = 0 > >> Sep 17 14:36:23 seattle kernel: hdd: No disk in drive > >> > >> not hardware, as it works in windows on the same machine.
