Rodolfo replies:
Yes, after reinstalling it I got it working again.
Anyway, I've worked out the problem (or at least I've managed to avoid it)
by using a more simple procedure,
in which the new partition is 'son' and the old one is 'parent',
whereas before it was the contrary.
0) Before 10.1 installation, I had:
/dev/hda1 -> Windows 98
/dev/hda5 -> Mdk 9.1 root
/dev/hda8 -> Mdk 9.1 home
/dev/hda6 -> linux swap
(/dev/hda7 -> Mdk 9.1 very old one, not involved in this game)
1) I created two new partitions, in which I installed Mdk 10.1:
/dev/hda9 -> Mdk 10.1 root
/dev/hda10 -> Mdk 10.1 home
. Now, when I installed Mdk 10.1 I didn't choose MBR as boot point;
I chose the second possibility (root, if I remember well).
Then, when I booted the system, I found myself in 9.1 (/dev/hda5).
Then, from there I did:
2) # mkdir /mnt/mdk10.1
3) # mount /dev/hda9 /mnt/mdk10.1
4) # emacs /etc/fstab
, and added the following line:
/dev/hda9 /mnt/mdk10.1 ext3 defaults 1 2
5) I edited the file /etc/lilo.conf: I added the following:
other=/dev/hda9
label="mdk10.1"
6) # lilo
This way, the modem problem did not arise any more.
