thanks guys for hint ;)
i needed to reboot 3 times while repartitioning. Finally i am having
a feeling it needs to refresh partition table to re-read. And format
cannot be done just after a partition created. But it's just working
with bit a hassle.
It is usually a one pass operation that shrinks your main Windows
partition, leaving the "preload" and "service" ones alone and at the
same time formats the new partition(s) needed for Linux. I've seen the
process get interrupted if there are bad blocks in the disk. Usually
you get an error message, when this is the case.
the error was: -0800L but i did not find any result by googling. Another
info, i had the same issue with my old desktop (asus p4p800dlx with
intel ICH5R) when had a try also to repartition a SATA attached HDD.
I have the impression that SATA attached drives, cannot resize (modify
partition table) and format in the same boot session. If i made only
partition changes, even only change partition type as (82,83...), then i
needed to reboot to be able to format. That was the work around in my case.
another issue came up as wifi lan adapter looks not working. It is an
intel pro 3945 abd. Kernel module loaded (ipw3945), but wlan
indicator led show heavy traffic on it, but just simply not
initialized. Kernel is default: 2.6.22.5-31.
Should i try with another module? or kernel?
The Intel driver ipw3945 is apparently of poor quality.
Do a search in bugzilla (https://bugzilla.novell.com/query.cgi) with
Words:3945 and Product:opensuse 10.3 and you will find there are 10
open bugs being actively worked on now.
If you feel that your case does not fit in any of those, by all means
submit a new bug report, so they can start working in fixing it for
you.
i still need to investigate what is the best suiting for my problem.
thanks Carlos a lot ;)
