Maybe because I have to pass more kernel options (ide2=... ide3=...) it
doesn't work? Also, I had to download the patch.pl using a windows PC
it could be a <CR><LF> problem? It does go and act like it loads
something off the floppy, but I get the same result when I reboot. The
logs say "PATCHED" during this stage.
Anyway, I removed the "/" from raided partition and broke it up into /,
/opt, and /var all 2.7 Gb in size. I then rebooted off the rescue CD
mounted the partitions and fixed the /etc/raidtab. It was as follows:
<<<original>>>
/dev/md3
device /dev/hdg6
<<<fixed it to>>>
/dev/md2
device /dev/hda8
device /dev/hde8
device /dev/hdg6
/dev/md1
device /dev/hda9
device /dev/hda9
device /dev/hdg5
The machine now boots! (small victory!). Now I have found that neither
urpmi nor rpmdrake seem to work. The processes seems to hang w/o any
CPU activity. I think I found a thread to fix this issue.
Since I installed with out the PCMCIA controller installed, I assume
I'll have to install:
pcmcia-cs-3.2.0-3mdk.rpm
pcmcia-cs-x11-3.2.0-3mdk.rpm
In order to get the card to work.
