dear all,

i haven't been here for years now... time simply doesn't allow..
as one of my two disks in my MkII Empeg now starts to fail i got a new diskdrive (Hitachi Travelstar, 100 GB) and i wanted to upgrade my player - at least i wanted to replace the two existing disks (30+40 GB) with the new one.

i followed the instructions of how to upgrade on riocar.org.
- downloaded software (emplode v2.0)
- installed emplode
- downloades emplode new version v2.10
- downloaded disk-builder (old and newer 20011022) for mk II
- downloaded player images (alpha 3.11 and consumer 2.00 - developer)
- run the disk-builder - it seemed to run ok, stresstest was made
- stopped stress test and installed the consumer 2.00, which also didn't come up with any error.

but now i can't connect to the empeg neither with emplode v2.0 nor emplode v2.1.
when connecting it v2.0 comes to the point "checking media", then player reboots and emplode immidately ends.
when connecting with v2.10 i get an error at "checking database" and i can't do anything further.

when i connect with hyperterminal i get following output:



empeg-car bootstrap v1.00 20000601 (hugo@empeg.com)
If there is anyone present who wants to upgrade the flash, let them speak now,
or forever hold their peace...

so to me it seems as if the disk hasn't been formated correctly or cant be mounted or something like this...

could someone give me a hint of how to handle? is the disk maybe too large for the player? (100 GB)
what could i do?

This is a bug in the builder software. It created the root partition, and copied the player software and kernel into place. But there was an error in creating the music partition. You can see in the above fragment that the player software loaded, so root is okay, but it could not find the primary music partition.

If the disk does not have any music on it (and I would expect this is the case if you ran the builder software), you have two options. You can build the music filesystem manually or rerun the builder a second time. Given that this is a 100GB drive, it is likely that the builder software did not have enough memory available to perform an mke2fs on the drive.

Thanks a lot, i tried it and it worked perfectly!

So now I'm currently copying all the files from drive1 to drive0 ... and then the same procedure with the second drive i replaced.... :-)

thanks again,
best,
