Even more strangeness:
lenny GNU Fdisk 1.2.1 writes a partition which another etch machine
can see (util-fdisk):
8 112 8891620 sdh
8 113 7815622 sdh1
8 114 1068322 sdh2
8 115 8883945 sdh3
But when booting the lenny machine with that disk as sole disk
the partition goes away:
[ 100.144792] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 17783240 512-byte hardware sectors (9105 MB)
[ 100.228140] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
[ 100.286532] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FUA
[ 100.387682] sda: sda1 sda3
[ 100.429180] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
And the etch machines util-fdisk indeed shows the same. As the boot above
did stuck in the initramfs who the hell changed the (probably
broken) partion table ?
silo ? or the kernel 2.6.28x ?
Thanks for any ideas,
Hermann
