My Athlon64 3800+ gets about 25 emulated MIPS under > Hercules. Hmm when I choose dasdfmt in the partition screen, I get the hourglass for a few seconds and then nothing. Continuing onward, it fails again with the same thing, trying to set the disk label of /dev/dasda to msdos. I installed Centos Linux on this Hercules as well other OSs and they work so I'm confident of our Hercules installation, there's just something about this SUSE. My next attempt is to dasdinit the 3390-9 again w/o -linux, not format it during the System Analysis phase, and tell it to dasdfmt during the partition phase.
Do you recall what disk device type you used? I have them defined as 0120 3390 /hercules/suse390/dasd/linux.120 0121 3390 /hercules/suse390/dasd/linux.121 and in dasdinit, I used 3390-2 and 3390-9 as the device types. BTW I'm running Hercules on our SUSE 9 system. Thanks, Paul -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
