Hard lock on new HD problem
Hey folks, got Debian running on my Quadra 840AV. The 1 gig drive was
getting a bit cramped so I got a nice 4.3gig drive off eBay. Stuck it in,
it mke2fsed fine, untarred the XFree86 4.2.0 source to it, started
compiling, and as it went it got slower and slower until finally the whole
system hard locked. Tried it several times with the same result. So, I went
back to the MacOS side, did a low level and zero out format, formatted to
HFS and was able to copy, duplicate, and install 8.1 on it just fine
without an issue. Back to Linux, tried untarring the source files on the
existing HFS, and it still ground to a halt and hard locked.
Any clues why it works fine on Mac but not Linux? I did notice the drive
was quite hot, so I'm trying it again now with a stand alone fan to see if
it makes any difference.
Thanks!
Scott Holder
