As I am trying to upgrade my DTivo, I am booting from CD, into Linux and attempting to mount my "c:" drive - I recieve a segmentation fault.....

Any ideas?

Are you sure that your "C" drive is formated Fat32 and is the PRIMARY Partition on the drive connected as primary master?

Posted by: tivovan

It's running XP, but the drive was formatted at FAT32 (reformatted from NTFS. It is definitely the primary master -

I validated the sizes of the drives (per instructions) and it is mapped to hda.

Other thoughts?

What's your exact command? Enter it here as is.

Posted by: tivovan

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos (of course, after doing a mkdir /mnt/dos)

What does cfdisk show?

Posted by: tivovan

OK - I've done Unix, but no linux. Are you asking me to type in cfdisk and find out what it reports?

Posted by: tivovan

I did a cfdisk command from the # prompt and also got a segmentation fault..... That's not good.

I'd say your burned CD may have a bad spot, maybe someplace where it affects the shell, or a shared library or something. Burn another copy - it has worked for many people so far.

Please post back the result, you got me curious.

I'll try it and let you know......

After burning a new CD - I did not recieve any more segmentation faults. I'm guessing the PC had issues, as I would on occasion still recieve an error (not neccesarily on the mount command - sometimes as it was sitting there at the # prompt). These errors, however were not fatal and most times the upgrade commands worked in spite of the error.

Bottom line, success. I'll post what I learned on another thread.

Thanks kazymyr and hinsdale for your timely help.
