My system, Squeeze, cannot install the latest kernel image because dosfslabel finds a problem that prevents the installation of linux-base.
Trying to resolve this I used e2fsck to check each of the disk partitions and e2fsck reported all the partitions clean. However, the result of running dosfslabel /dev/hda1 results in the following output: There are differences between boot sector and its backup. Differences: (offset:original/backup) 0:eb/01, 1:58/00, 2:90/04, 4:53/02, 5:57/00, 6:49/04, 7:4e/00, 8:34/0c , 9:2e/00, 10:31/04, 12:02/ff, 13:08/1d, 14:20/f8, 15:00/0f, 16:02/00 . . . , 493:00/1d, 494:00/f8, 495:00/0f Not automatically fixing this. NO NAME This hard drive used to have windoze installed and could be booted. The windoze partition was reformated to be an ext2 partition. Could it be that there is still a windoze mbr before the /dev/hda1 partition and fsdoslabel sees this but e2fsck does not? If so, what can I do about it?
