Bug#60142: base



Package: base
Version: 2.0.38
 
Okay i am trying to install a minimum server package on the system below. I am using the lowmem.bin to startup, but i keep hitting a problem.
This problem is whenever linux tries to initialize or mount a partion.  The error message is "device or resource is busy" and "The swap partition /dev/hda2 could not be activated. Device or resource busy"
 
I have set the HD to its specific setting (as quantum has them specifically)
One major problem which i cant change apparently is Compaq's bios. It only permits very very limited changes, not sure if this could be a problem.
 
Any help would be appreciated...only thing i havent tried is some zero addition to boot file...i just vaguely remember it, havent been able to refind it. Please reply at samtate@home.com
