[parisc-linux] Formatting Scsi disks

[James S]

I had an odd thing happen.....

i took a disk out of a 712 & had it in a mac for a while
when i put it back into the 712, & tried to put linux back on it, it got as
far as fdisk which then said that it couldnt write a partition table to it

the disk still works in the mac - am i missing something daft here ?

the search command from the boot console on the 712 sees the disk
the kernel sees & correctly identifies the disk

just wont partition it


any ideas?
