yeah, the other thing that would be good, is for mandrakeupdate to detect if the newer kernel is installed "AS WELL AS" the older one... since it has been recommended by many to install not upgrade the kernel. if it looked for the newer kernel as well as the older one, it could remove it from the list... I installed the newer 2.2.19-4 kernel ages ago and mandrake update still tells me it needs to be upgraded.. uname indicates I am definately running the newer one... just annoying since I usually just tick everything that it suggests to update and let it go, but if I accidently tick the kernel, it pops up the error message that its already installed and stops... (I do alot of updates unattended,, so I don't find out till later that it didn't finish updating everything...) just a thought.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gerard Perreault Sent: Monday, 10 September 2001 8:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] GRUB will not install Try this: grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --batch <<EOF install (hd0,4)/grub/stage1 d (hd0) (hd0,4)/grub/stage2 p (hd0,4)/grub/menu.lst quit EOF where the 4 in hd0,4 indicates the partition which has the /boot direcotry, counting from 0, not 1 like fdisk does.
