I have a machine I am trying to install Debian on. It is an AMD-64 and has a DPT RAID card. The disks appear on the I2O bus.
The Debian installer recognises them (once I have told it to load the right driver), and partitions them, but there is a problem when it comes to formatting them for EXT-3. Either through the installer, or manually on VC2, the format seems to go OK, but when I come to mount it, mount complains of an invalid parameter. The manual mount command I tried was:- mount -t ext3 /dev/i2o/hda/part1 /target /target exists, as does the /dev/i2o/hda/part1. The I2O maintainer is a bit confused as to why the disk is not called /dev/i2o/hda1, but that appears to be a Debianism. I also tried putting a small IDE drive on this box, and then I tried to format it using the installer, and that hung at 100%.
