by I am trying to install Linux 0.99.13 Yggdrassil release on a 486/33 with
a Adaptec 1542c SCSI controller and Maxtor 1GB SCSI drive. The drive
already has a 150 Dos partition. I am able to boot up of the Linux
floppy and get to the install script. I am also able to create a root
and swap partition, (after much trial and error, in the blind) but then
when I type:
mkfs -c /dev/sda2
the screen display several lines like:
Block log size =
frqagement log size =
10 -12 other lines
and then it just sits there...... Iwas thinking maybe this is like a
formatting, and I see the SCSI drive light pulsing about once per second,
but nothing else seems to happen. I have been waiting over an hour,
should it take that long?
I would appreciate hearing from anyone that might know what the problem
is and how to fix it.
thanks.
