Hi all, I gave up on getting Haiku to run on the desktop I "organized" myself, instead I "organized" an Lifebook Q based on a Core2 Solo 1400 CPU and Intel chipset. This systems boots fine from USB (with the minor exception that safe mode graphics is required, as otherwise the system crashes somewhere in the app_server initialization), however when I try to mkfs an existing partition on the harddrive I get the following error: ->mkfs -t bfs -v /dev/disk/ata/0/master/2 Haiku Error: Failed to get disk device for path /dev/disk/ata/0/master/2: No such file or directory entering the debugger it complains about ...BPartition::IsReadOnly () from / boot/beos/system/lib/libbe.so I assume again something stupid on my side! Any ideas? Thanks, Rossi
