I'm stuck from the word go. This is the reason I couldn't install Xebian and went with xDSL. I opened up aTerminal that is located on the desktop and type SU; however, I can not type my root password. In fact no letters will be displayed. All I can press is enter, in which case I get, authentication failure.

I am using a Wireless Keyboard mouse on a frugal install of Linux-Xdsl 0.5. I tried the virtual keybaord located on the desktop as well. no luck...

I was wondering if I could install Linux on the F drive just so I would have access to my music that is located on that partition. I shouldn't need to if I can mount the damn drive.

Any suggestions?

I'm also having the mount F problem detailed above - I mount /dev/hda55 to /mnt/F, but when I do an ls I get a page of ascii characters...

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part55 on /mnt/F type fatx (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000)

xebian:/mnt# ls /dev/hda5*
/dev/hda50 /dev/hda51 /dev/hda52 /dev/hda53 /dev/hda54 /dev/hda55

When I look at the partitions in the Avalaunch XBox Explorer, F appears as partition6.

Any ideas?

John.

I have the same problem. Do you think the F drive will be readable if I set the F drive to mount on boot?

btw, my F drive is over 137GB. My bios and other specs are below.

here is a screenshot:

^ That is exactly what happens to me as well, but I've never seen anybody offer a solution for it. My F drive is just a bunch of gibberish, while my C drive displays fine, and at one point my E did as well... although even that won't display now.

hey, whenever I do that mounting thing in the first post, xdsl only mounts hda50, even though I typed in hda55. When I type in "mount" in the terminal, I only see my E drive mounted. In emelf, there is nothing in hda55 or anything else rather except hda50

UPDATE: fixed it, see here:
