Re: memstick && Invalid partition table

[Maxim Sobolev]

By the way, as far as I understand, fdisk(8) is long depreciated now,
superseded by the gpart(8). Somebody needs to pick a big shiny axe and root
it out for good.

this gave 'da0 recovering is not needed'

this worked, partition is now 'flag 80 (active)' and the stick boots
fine;

thanks for your help;

To fix the partition table to be the size of your memstick do:

gpart recover da0


If this does not work, try this (specific to some models of Dell
Latitude and some HPs):

gpart set -a active da0

memstick && Invalid partition table

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

To move a compiled system and kernel to other, smaller device I produce
so called memsticks which are made with the script
/usr/src/release/amd64/make-memstick.sh

They do, i.e. booting fine and showing for example on a netbook Acer C720 in
/var/log/messages on attach:

Jun  7 10:35:43 c720-r292778-amd64 kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus1 
target 0 lun 0
Jun  7 10:35:43 c720-r292778-amd64 kernel: da0:  
Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
Jun  7 10:35:43 c720-r292778-amd64 kernel: da0: Serial Number 0902213131
Jun  7 10:35:43 c720-r292778-amd64 kernel: da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
Jun  7 10:35:43 c720-r292778-amd64 kernel: da0: 7712MB (15794176 512 byte 
sectors)
Jun  7 10:35:43 c720-r292778-amd64 kernel: da0: quirks=0x2

wnd with FDISK:

$ fdisk da0
*** Working on device /dev/da0 ***
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=983 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=983 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 238 (0xee),(EFI GPT)
start 1, size 14683749 (7169 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ head 0/ sector 2;
end: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:

The data for partition 3 is:

The data for partition 4 is:



If I use the fine memstick on some other laptop, in this case a Dell
Latitude E6330, it just says 'Invalid partition table!'

What could be wrong with it?
