Your PKGPATH setting looks OK, although there's no need to list fd0 twice. The error you report (Can't open /var/lib/lrpkg/root.dev.own) is reported by the init scripts, and probably means root.lrp wasn't found/loaded. It would probably be more helpful if you could report the first error you see, as this is far more likely to be the root cause of your problems. I suspect your CDROM isn't being seen by the system, either because the modules aren't loading/installing correctly, or because your CDROM isn't supported by the modules getting loaded (ie: is SCSI, USB, or otherwise not recognized by the standard IDE drivers). Try mounting/reading from your CD in a normal floppy install...that should verify the modules you need and that your hardware is supported. Then make sure all modules are in the /boot/lib/modules directory, listed in /boot/etc/modules, and create a new initrd pacakge. I find it's helpful to create a floppy-disk (or HDD) boot-image to debug startup problems, as it allows faster turn-around for testing (no re-burning ISO images required). Once you can boot off a floppy/hdd and load packages from the CD-ROM, you can burn a new bootable CD with the customized initrd package and it should work. - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDT8VBLywbqEHdNFwRAvmBAJ9dNa0ZDd6Kdl3FZxyU9pj8N8yX2gCg2C+0 UXTfZe50EHWy8G5Jbu1cEnI= =zxiQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
