Summary: boot loader does not install correctly for 9.2 rc2 on
Dell notebook
Product: Installation
Version: 1.847
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

Attempting to upgrade a previous version of Mandrake Linux (8.2) appeared to
all work correctly until I attempted to reboot when I go the LI of LILO and
then the PC do no more.
The PC is a Dell Latitude CPxJ notebook (750 MHz Pentium, 20G IBM hard drive,
in or out of docking station)
Windows 2000 is installed an there is another Windows NTFS partition on the
disk. Linux installed to /dev/hda6 and booted OK with the LILO from the 8.2
distribution.
Using the 9.2 installation CD and pressing <F1> and using the "rescue" option
allowed me to reinstall the Windows boot. Attempting to reload the Linux boot
loader failed.
I repeated the latter using the 9.1 installation CD with the same effect.
After a screenful of errors I end up with
"
About to re-install Boot Loader for the following Mandrake Distro
Mandrake Linux Release 9.2(Torrent) for i586
..
Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/hda6")
To the extent described above, the problem is reproducible. I had been
successfully running with Mandrake 8.2 and this was an upgrade not a new
installation.
Please email me if you require further information
Many thanks
Phil Johnson
