I have tried to install 8b1 using upgrade (from working 7.2) now and I still can't get 8 to install. Some poking around using grub's command line reveals that the /etc/modules and /etc/modules.conf files that 8 installed are unchanged from the 7.2 versions. Here are the relevant errors: VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem) Loading sd_mod module /lib/sd_mod.o: unresolved symbol scsi_io_completion_Rd122ba09 /lib/sd_mod.0: unresolved symbol scsi_unregister_module_R81d85a75 (many more errors of this type) then it continues: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-33, errno = 2 VFS: cannot open root device "hde5" or 21:05 please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 21:05 That's long and short of it. Any ideas or other info needed? Rich Thompson http://www.robotthoughts.com http://www.tennlug.com
