Voodoo 0.8 atkbd.c: Spurious Ack on isa 0060/serio -- SOLVED

Hi,

atkbd.c: Spurious Ack on isa 0060/serio0

I have installed a new disk 250Gb. First I  install voodoo 0.8 on this disk
option "auto prepare" and this works, could boot etc..

To give me the flexibility to reinstall later without touching the data I wanted another partitions table and ran setup again.

Installation IDE-Legacy

New  partition table looks like this:

hdc1...boot....Primary.....Linux..............Ext2.................41.13         
hdc2................Primary....Linux...swap/Solaris..........386.59
hdc3../..........Primary.......Linux................................50001.48 ---> edit: WRONG do not continue ( type is missing)
hdc4../data....Primary....Linux..............Ext3.........199627.55

remarks:
- when I ran "auto prepare" I got "Boot, NC" in the flag field for hdc1 )
- hdc3 whatever I try I don't get Ext3 on that line although I selected type 83 (ext3)
So I continued. Creating filesystem/mounting points seems to run fine.
When I  reboot I got this error

I am searching....searching....
I noticed with qtparted  that my 3th partition hdc3 was invalid.

Reinstalled everything and used the following workaround :idea:

( I agree there was a remark during the creating of the partion, that told to reboot but I thought it was enough to exit and restart the partition program)
 
- create the first 3 partitions ( maybe the first 2), set the mounting points.
- reboot with install disk, create the fourth partition
  en redo install mounting points.
>> check the partition table in "disk prepare sub menu" again.  looks OK now and continued the installation.
- Because I have a pentium chipset I have added the "earlymodules=piix" option.   No need to change hdx to sdx neither in menu.lst nor in fstab
The rest was straigth forward. No need to edit mkinicpio.conf
And reboot,   WORKING 

( I agree there was a remark during the creating of the partion, that told to reboot
  but I thought it was enough to exit the partion program)

CONCLUSION:

- Creating filesystem (EXT3), mounting points and mounting partitions seems to work during the installation even if the partition  table is wrong !
This really very strange.

Begin scan...
Possible partition(Linux swap), size(368mb), offset(39mb)
Possible partition(Linux ext2), size(47685mb), offset(407mb)
Possible partition(Linux ext2), size(190379mb), offset(48093mb)
End scan.

Checking partitions...
Partition(Linux swap or Solaris/x86): primary
Partition(Linux ext2 filesystem): primary
Partition(Linux ext2 filesystem): primary
Ok.

Guessed primary partition table:
Primary partition(1)
   type: 130(0x82)(Linux swap or Solaris/x86)
   size: 368mb #s(755048) s(80325-835372)
   chs:  (5/0/1)-(51/254/56)d (5/0/1)-(51/254/56)r

Primary partition(2)
   type: 131(0x83)(Linux ext2 filesystem)
   size: 47685mb #s(97659128) s(835380-98494507)
   chs:  (52/0/1)-(1023/254/63)d (52/0/1)-(6130/254/56)r

Primary partition(3)
   type: 131(0x83)(Linux ext2 filesystem)
   size: 190379mb #s(389897544) s(98494515-488392058)
   chs:  (1023/254/63)-(1023/254/63)d (6131/0/1)-(30400/254/57)r

Primary partition(4)                            
   type: 000(0x00)(unused)
   size: 0mb #s(0) s(0-0)
   chs:  (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)d (0/0/0)-(0/0/0)r
