I have tried to install Minix 1.5.0 (from PH) on a Hewlett-Packard
Vectra ES/12. My system configuration:
- 80286 / 12 MHz
- 640 KB RAM
- one Harddisk (fdisk says 6 heads 819 cylinders => 40 MB)
- one 5 1/4" 1,44 MB Floppydrive
+ Booting with the AT-Bootdisk runs with no problem.
+ Also, the HD test with
'dd if=/dev/hd0 of=/dev/null count=400'
runs with NO problems.
+ In the next step I partioned the HD with fdisk. No problem.
My partion-table:
# size
------------
1 40900
2 20400
3 3060
4 9588
+ I make a filesystem on each partion (with size/2).
And now ...
I test the partions with 'readall -b' as described in the manual.
And Minix says:
'Controler not ready in com_out'
'Unrecoverable disk error on device 3/4, block ....'
What is the problem ?
On the small partion #3 there are no problems !
Is this a compatibility - problem ????
What can I do ....
Thanks in advance.
Stefan.
