Hi Group ! I have been experimenting with Wine and have sucessfully ran a few cool windows programs ! (To those that have tried Wine before and failed, I recommend you give it another go. Download the "Codeweavers" RPM and you really can't go wrong ! :)
Anyway, recently I have rebooted my linux machine and again tried to mount my windows partition as I always have: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /win It has been working for about a week but then today, all of a sudden, I get a "segmentation fault" when I try to run the "ls" command in the directory - ditto with "dir". Strangely enough, I can "cd" into directories I know exist. Here's a copy-paste of a typical mount attempt: [root@localhost /]# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /win [root@localhost /win]# mount /dev/hdc1 on / type ext2 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hda1 on /win type vfat (rw) [root@localhost /win]# ls Segmentation fault [root@localhost /win]# dir Segmentation fault [root@localhost /win]# mc Segmentation fault [root@localhost /win]# cd windows [root@localhost windows]# ls Segmentation fault [root@localhost /win]# cd desktop [root@localhost desktop]# ls Segmentation fault If I try to run "vi autoexec.ba[TAB]" it will die and destroy xterm !? I have tried booting the windows hard drive and all works correctly, I have run a "basic" windows scandisk on the drive and it reports no errors. What could I be doing wrong ? I'm really bad at hardware diagnosis :) Matt _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
