hi ya if it hands on "ramdisk"... remove that initrd line... and/or make sure the file exists as typed
initrd is not needed if your kernel has all the hardware drivers needed to boot... i dont think a new kernel in sid ( hdc ) will solve anything for redhat stuff in hda... if you're referring to redhats "simple install".. - just boot the cdrom and tell it upgrade and it will go thru what you got ant ask you what else you want rh is such a pita aint it??? my fav comment is its designed to generate $300/incident tech support phone calls... - especailly things that used to work gets broken... ( simple and everyday stuff.. apache, pop3, nfs, etc c ya alvin On Thu, 21 Feb 2002, Rudy Gevaert wrote: > On Thu, Feb 21, 2002 at 04:08:43AM -0800, Alvin Oga wrote: > > > > jo ua to get sid running ... > > > > for simplicity, just add these lines to lilo.conf on hda ( redhat's lilo ) > > > > # > > # boot sid instead > > # copy hdc:/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.xx to hda:/boot > > # > > image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.xxx > > label=DebianSid > > initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.14-5.0.img > > read-only > > root=/dev/hdc1 > > Ok; thanks for the tip, but when I do this I can boot into sid, but it > hangs on "Found Ramdisk at...". > > I previously had this problem (whan I accidentially erased my /boot on > hda when installing Sid) when booting into Redhat 6.2 with the standard > kernel. > > I fixed the problem by installing RedHat again (only updating) so I got > a new /boot, but this didn't help and I finally installed a new kernel. > > So I think the problem now will be solved if I install a new kernel in Sid. > > So I tried that, but it can't find make :).
