-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've an iBook (the blue shell ;), the one wth a G3 300 and 6,4 Go HD. I tried to install 9.1beta2, but encountered the same problem that formated my /home as swap under 8.2 (lol)
pdisk says (same under mdk 8.2 ppc and the installer) : - ----------------------------------------- [root@ibook root]# pdisk /dev/hda Edit /dev/hda - Command (? for help): p Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/hda' #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 54 @ 64 3: Apple_Driver43*Macintosh 74 @ 118 4: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 54 @ 192 5: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 74 @ 246 6: Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh 512 @ 320 7: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 832 8: Apple_HFS sans titre 6144000 @ 1344 ( 2.9G) 9: Apple_HFS sans titre 2 204800 @ 6145344 (100.0M) 10: Apple_Bootstrap untitled 20481 @ 6350144 ( 10.0M) 11: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 Home file system 2048822 @ 9422144 (1000.4M) 12: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 Swap 262144 @ 11470966 (128.0M) 13: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 3051519 @ 6370625 ( 1.5G) 14: Apple_Free Extra 10 @ 11733110 Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=11733120 (5.6G) DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 Drivers- 1: @ 64 for 22, type=0x1 2: @ 118 for 36, type=0xffff 3: @ 192 for 20, type=0x701 4: @ 246 for 33, type=0xf8ff Command (? for help): - ----------------------------------------- but the graphical installer get it wrong. It's ok up to the 10th partition, but when coming to linux partitions, It sees : - - hda11 as a 1,4 Go partition (instead of 1000.4M) - - hda12 as a 1000 Mo partition (instead of 128M of swap) - - hda13 as a 128 Mo swap partition (instead of 1.5G) so if I continue that way, it will silently format hda13 (my present /home as swap), and put /home on the 128Mo partition. 1.5G of swap is a bit luxury isn't it ? ;) what can I do to help debug this ? Under my working MDK 8.2 PPC I've this mounted : [root@ibook root]# mount /dev/hda11 on / type ext2 (rw,noatime) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev type devfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/hda13 on /home type ext2 (rw,noatime) /mnt/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type supermount (ro,dev=/dev/hdc,fs=iso9660,--,iocharset=iso8859-15) /dev/hda9 on /mnt/ech type hfs (rw) none on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0664,devgid=43) so pdisk seems not to be wrong. I think I can workaround this by telling the installer to put / on hda11, /home on hda13 and swap on hda12, but I'm trying not to lose my /home this time :p so I'll wait for your ideas !
