Comments/Problems:
I tryed to install debian next to my SuSE 9.1.
Booting the CD worked fine, but the existing partition-table was not listed in
the partitioning menu (neither with linu
x 2.4 nor with 2.6).
So I tryed different menus always ending up with something that would destroy
the old partitions (using whole disk, usi
ng new part table etc.)
So I tryed to mount /dev/ide/bus0/target0/lun0/part9 as /target which did not
work with reiserfs (part1 which also uses
reiserfs worked anyway)
reboot, mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda9, reboot & install
still no part-table read,
mounting as target works
trying Install base system asks me to do the partitioning. Aborting that twice
(Zurück in german) tells me that nothing
has been mountet as /target.
So starting second console, mounting after first aborting then aborting again
fixes that but still gives error during i
nstallation. Looks like /target would be (ro) which it is. Remounting makes it
rw, but after first file is installed sa
me error occures, and /target is (ro) again.
gave up here, would appreciate helpfull notes send to
mwiehle2@ix.urz.uni-heidelberg.de
thanx for the great work,
Max
