------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-22 13:00 ------- it may have changed to hde. i'll try to allow changing those things in bootloader configuration. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-22 19:41 ------- I tried another upgrade and the same error occurred but this time I went to a prompt to check things out myself. /dev/hda does exist but the installer is looking for hda in /mnt/dev where hda is not present. I know this is true because if I make a file called hda and go back to the installer the problem is resolved and it then complains that /dev/hd5 does not exist. Would symbolic link from using the commmand "ls -s /dev/hda /dev/mnt/dev", etc solve the problem?

I downloaded MandrakeLinux-9.1beta2-CD1.i586.iso and MandrakeLinux-9.1beta2-CD2.i586.iso. The check sum was correct so I burned them onto cd, rebooted the computer and chose to upgrade when prompted. Everything worked fine until the installation reached the bootloader section. The following error was reported: Installation of bootloader failed. The following error occured: : Fatal: open /dev/hda: No such file or directory No options were given to correct this problem. I rebooted the machine and tried using rescue to install lilo. This failed with the same error. Rescue was able to restore the windows bootloader and I am currently using windows xp. I have tried repeating the update several times and the same error occurs. I have not found a way to boot linux. I have a 60gb hard drive. 30gb is dedicated to linux and 30gb for windows. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Seamus Carroll
