Hi,

Yes, I followed Mark's new instructions in the FAQ.

I installed hijack 488 prior to any install as the instructions indicate. Then the Big Disk Builder, then the player hijack that was recommended.

I thought the player software was the car2.v2.01_hijack.

I have tried this on 2 different known good Rio's and 2 different disk drive cables. I have completed the above install and tried v2b13 Hijack as well.

I started with a new 250 GB drive.

Here is the result of the above requests:

<CTRL C>

Restored terminal settings
Remounting first music partition read-only
No primary hard disk
Remounting second music partition read-only
No secondary hard disk
Abnormal player termination
Player received SIGINT, user interruption
Switching to shell-player loop
Starting bash.
empeg:/empeg/bin# cat /proc/partitions

empeg:/empeg/bin#
empeg:/empeg/bin# fdisk -l

Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device
E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda (for the first IDE disk)
or: fdisk /dev/sdc (for the third SCSI disk)
or: fdisk /dev/eda (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0 or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 (for RAID devices)
...

I assume this is what you really wanted.


empeg:/empeg/bin# fdisk /dev/hda -l

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 16709 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 5 40131 5 Extended
/dev/hda2 6 10 40162+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 11 13 24097+ 10 OPUS
/dev/hda4 14 16709 134110620 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 1 3 24034+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 4 5 16033+ 82 Linux swap
empeg:/empeg/bin#


These were the same partition assignments that I got when I manually partitioned the drive too.

By the way, if anyone else is trying to upgrade to these drives, they seem to be in short supply.

Thanks for the help,

Ross
