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.
