Hi!
With Knoppix 4.0.2 the only partition on my IDE-harddrive is not correctly detected. When I click on the icon on the desktop (labeled "Hard Disk [hda]) I get an error message: "Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified".
My fstab looks as follows:
__________________________________________________ ________________
/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/sys /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
/dev/pts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/auto/floppy auto user,noauto,exec,umask=000 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom auto user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda /mnt/hda auto noauto,users,exec 0 0
__________________________________________________ ________________
The last entry seems wrong to me. Should this not be "hda1"? fdisk shows the following partition table for hda:
__________________________________________________ ________________
Disk /dev/hda: 20.0 GB, 20020396032 bytes
225 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2758 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 14175 * 512 = 7257600 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 2813 19935688+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
__________________________________________________ ________________
With "mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda" I can mount the partition manually and have access to the data, but when I try to create a persistent home directory on hda1 I get the following error message:
"The KNOPPIX configuration could NOT be saved: No suitable partitions could be found." Here is the content of /proc/partitions:
__________________________________________________ ________________
major minor #blocks name
3 0 19551168 hda
3 1 19935688 hda1
240 0 1942016 cloop0
__________________________________________________ ________________
However, in the output from dmesg I found:
[...]
VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev hda.
FAT: invalid media value (0xb9)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hda.
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
[...]
As I said before, manually mounting the partition and booting windows from this drive work without problems. Does anybody have a clue what the problem might be?
Thanks,
Matthias
