Hi guys,
I have observed a queer thing with my RHL6.1 install and/or Win98. My
partition structure is: hda1 hda2 <hda5 hda6> with Linux but DOS FDISK
recognises hda2 as EXT DOS type of partition. It can not access it though
(which is good!).
The thing that causes some worry is CHKDSK/F in autoexec.bat reports
different amount of free space in hda1 each time I boot into win98 even if
no files are written or deleted to c: (hda1). The total partition size is
however always same (4192MB, which is good again :)). Scandisk gives no
errors.
Do anyone of you think something is fishy?
My partitioning and install sequence was as follows,
1. scandisk --> defrag 6.2 GB HDD --> fips --> c:(4192M) d:(2000M)
2. dos format new partition (now d:)
3. delete d: with dos FDISK
4. install RHL6.1 from PCQ CD --> custom install --> diskdruid
5. hda1 (untouched) --> added hda5 as '/' and hda6 as 'swap'
6. clean install, no dual boot with LILO, booting from floppy
please let me know what may cause this queer thing.
thanks,
Rajesh
PS: My X configuartion runs perfectly now. Getting good 1024x768 at 16 bit
depth. Funny sis86c326 is identifier that XCofigurator uses to indicate
sis6326 (which is recognised, ran X -probeonly >/tmp/out 2>&1).
