Sorry for that double post. Anyway, now
7.2 won't boot, It says:
"Warning: Unable to open an initial
console."
"Kernel Panic: No init found. Try passing
init= option to kernel."
Geez, all I wanted to do was upgrade.
Appreciate any help.
ThankSW

Subject: [newbie] 8.2 install
problems
I tried to install 8.2 last night and ran into
some problems. When I got to the part where the packages install, no
packages seemd to be available. I got an error message like
"depslist.ordered mismatch against hdlist files" and "Basesystem package not
selected.".
After this failed I tried to go back and
reinstall 8.0. This time I got "Nothing found while parsing
/mnt/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist"
I was then able to able install an old 7.2.
Feeling like I was on a roll, I tried 8.0 again. I got "Unable to open
/mnt/something/something/RPM." When I
logged out I saw a message something about "Unable to open rpom database, if
you recently upgraded...." couldn't catch the rest.
I get that 8.0 and 8.2 can't seem to get at the
packages, but why and what to do about it?
Appreciate any help,
Thanks,
Scott
