I know similar enquiries have been made before but my mail is in a state of
disarray atm.
I'm running armlinux on a sa rpc, on the internal drive. I also have an apdl
interface fitted conected to a 11.8GB quantum. I'm using a slightly modified
2.0.36 kernel (one addition to the ide-ics.c file to make it recognise the
new manufacturer's number) and etherh enabled in the kernel.
I'm having two problems. The first is getting !partman (latest version) to
put a linux partition on the quantum. With one filecore partition (and plenty
of space left after it) the partitioner only sees the filecore and not the
free space. If I change the geometry so the free space is shown and partition
it, if I load partman again and look, it's not there, but if I try to
add/alter anything it complains that there is one. On booting linux it still
only recognises the filecore partition as being present. Any ideas how to get
it to work (I've tried all sorts and got nowhere)?
Meanwhile, I found (by accident :) that you can format filcore partitions
as ext2 from within linux. So thinking this was a good way round it I did so,
but I've found that doing anything network based with files stored on them I
get the following errors during transfer (eg ftping):
"eth0: reentering interupt handler! : <address> : <address>"
or
"eth0: interrupts interrupted <address> <address>"
The messages become more frequent the more transfering is done. Is this my
dodgy way of partitioning or is there something nasty going on here?
Any help gratefully received (as my internal hd is at 93% and counting :).
