Hello minixers,
i have big problems by patching my out-of-the-house minix (1.5.10-ST)
to 1.5.10.3... The first patch i have already installed doesnt accept
the highest harddisk-partition. as it is an original atari sh205 i
think it shoud do, shouldn't it? The pi_flag is set to INVALID at the
very end of do_open() in kernel/stwini.c. But i really can't figut out
how this comes. remember: it is only the very highest partition...
all other work correctly.
did i miss a bugfix? or is the harddisk wrong formatted?
thanx a very lot for any help!!!!!!!!
Joerg

Which formatter did you use to format your SH205? Please keep in
mind that 1.5.10 does not know the extended formatting scheme
used by AHDI 3.0 and upwards. It also doesn't know about more
than 4 partitions on a HD when you use the ICD/Supra way (like
Claus Brod's SED/CBHD do. If this is your problem: dont' worry.
1.5.10.3 knows about both schemes.
Regards, Louis

maybe i forgot somethink to say: the highest partition is part 4. so there
is no extended partitioniring, as i use one of the oldest versions of the
atari hdx-programm to format the disk.

I had exactly the same problem.  Ignore the problem and apply the next
two patches anyway, then rebuild; that cured it for me.  It seems patch
1 broke something which either patch 2 or 3 fixed again.

One of the patches changes introduces a rigid check of the partition
information in the boot block. Especially it checks if the sum of
availiable blocks in the partition plus the partition start block is
bigger than the harddisk size. As far as I can remenber this is true
if the disk is partitioned by an (old ?) Atari hdx-program. Repartition
the HD with an other program, fix the block count in the root block or
alter the test in stwini.c (/* some sanity checks */).

- I can only say *THANX* to all who helped me... thanx a lot.
for those who have the same problem: simply ignore it and
go an patching to 1.5.10.3 #3 or change ' >= ' to ' > '
at the end of do_open() in stwini.c (*some sanity checks*).
thanx Joerg
