I downloaded the Mandrake 7.2 iso's and wrote them out using cdrecord. Since I checked the md5sums and no errors were reported so I am guessing the cd write is good. Any way here is the senerio: I have and old cyrix machine with Mandrake 7.1, kernel 2.2.15 installed. The file system is reiser and the cdrom is a smart and friendly scsi. Since I can not boot of the cdrom, I used dd to write out hdreiser.img to a boot disk. I boot from the disk just fine and get into the install program. When I tell it to install from a local scsi cdrom it probes, finds the cdrom and then returns that it can not mount /dev/sd0 ?? Shouldn't the device be scd0? I dismissed it as a typo, but it might not be. So I tried the following: Rebooting, hitting F1, typing in text expert selecting hard drive install and pointing to the partition /dev/hda8 and dir /home/iso/ then selecting iso, it tells me image can not be found. So I appended it to /home/iso/Mandrake72-inst.iso. Same result. I then copied did cp -R on Mandrake from the cd to /home. Tried another install this time pointing to the /home and /home/Mandrake dir for an install from the hard drive. It returns no Mandrake install tree found. Has anyone upgraded a reiser file system on Mandrake to 7.2 sucessfully? Is it possible that the hdreiser.img boot disk isn't "seeing" the reiser file system on the hard drive? I am at a loss as to where to take it from here. Any thoughts, suggestions or comments (helpfull ones please) Jerry S.
