Well, root=/dev/hdc8 works! Now, why is it that I should be using a RAM disk rather than "just" the kernel to boot an OldWorld machine? (there seems to be no difference between the two) Also, I manged to resatisfy a dependency problem (libcom_err.so.3 and libcom_err.so.2) :) :) :) so my server daemons are back up and running (of course, I did remove a lot of KDE-related stuff and re-install some of it to get there) Eric. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
