Re: [Cooker] Kernel 24319 and big problema
First... did you make a floppy boot disk. Those things are good things to have! There appears to be a problem upgrading the kernel, esp from Mandrake Update using rpmdrake. It is not properly creating an initrd.img link and there can be other problems found in the /boot directory. Here is how I have worked around it. as root go to /usr/src/linux (as long as it is linked to a 2.4 kernel) type "make install" without quotes. When it has been completed (it will take a while), type "lilo" and make sure your linux kernel made it successfully. You should be able to reboot fine now. --- michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am currently writing this from a small install on > a different hd (hde6) > than my cooker/Beta3 one.

Did you run lilo after installing the new kernel?
1) As root, from a console: #/sbin/telnit S
2) Full screen prompt: sh# mkinitrd initrd 2.4.3-19.img 2.4.3-19
3) Check that the *.img file is now in /boot, or move/copy it there
(it might be in /, instead of
in /boot).
4) Edit /etc/lilo.conf to show both entries with the 2.3.4.img
5) Do: #/sbin/lilo{*extremely* important, or else
you won't be able to reboot into
the system.
Now shutdown / reboot
(YMMV, since this is _advice from a newbie_)

[Cooker] Kernel 24319 and big problema
I am currently writing this from a small install on a different hd (hde6) than my cooker/Beta3 one. I attempted to install kernel 2.4.3-19mdk thias morning and when I rebooted, I could get no further than the first line of the boot process. So I attempted to reinstall 2.4.3-17 but now it doesn't work either. I am lost here. How can I get back into my hda10 partition? Thanks -michael-
