Normally after a reboot the dmesg command will give a lot of system information. However your does not help at all with your problem because it does not show anything about your hard drive, which it should.
So I am going to assume that is the root of the problem with the ext2 package. With that in mind try the following commands directly from the command line 'AFTER' you install the ext2 package.
First exit the ext2 package setup and then try this
- Code: Select all
cfdisk /dev/hda
cfdisk /dev/hdb
cfdisk /dev/hdc
cfdisk /dev/hdd
One of the above commands will allow you to fdisk the hard drive as ext2. Which you may need to delete any previous partition first. After one of the above commands works then you can go through the ext2 package setup again and format the partition and finish the install.
rc_ext2 setup
If you are afraid that you might make a mistake. The chances are high that you will never learn anything.
