Accessing old partition from lenny
Hello,
On a G4 freshly installed with lenny, I've trouble accessing my old
partitions :
- hdc is a new disk with lenny
- hda is my old disk with data on it
udev doesn't create device above hda1 :
# ls -l /dev/hda*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 fév 13 18:30 /dev/hda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 1 fév 13 18:30 /dev/hda1
Playing with mknod doesn't improve the situation.
As shown by the following fdisk, hda has been partitionned quite some
type ago (cf. the name bf-3.0.16 and friend on some partitions) and the
size of the NewWorld bootblock is not of the same as the one on hdc.
Could this be the issue ?
