[Cooker] update to cooker from 8.1 issues
I tried to upgrade an 8.1 to cooker through net install and ran into issues where it would not recognize the swap file on hda2. I would get an error message that swapon failed at hda2 (or something like that) and could not proceed further. = SI Reasoning [EMAIL PROTECTED] They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

No useful error message on console 3 ? In last resort, you could try using the rescue: % mknod /dev/hda2 % swapon /dev/hda2 It may give better error message...

I went back into 8.1 and reformatted the swap partition and then remounted. I then rebooted into the cooker net install and I was able to start the upgrade it is now in progress... --- Pixel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: SI Reasoning [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I tried to upgrade an 8.1 to cooker through net install and ran into issues where it would not recognize the swap file on hda2.

Re: [Cooker] update to cooker from 8.1 issues
Well, I figured out why this was a problem in the
first place. I have been using lvm and had moved the
swap partition to a lvm directory. Evidently the net
install floppy does not recognize lvm. Now all of my
lvm drives are gone (which were /usr /var and /home
... not good)
It also means that all of the upgrades went into the
non lvm / directory instead of where they should have
gone...
This is pretty knarled up. Is there a way to recover
the lvm groups and partitions? Is there a way to have
the updates moved into these directories and
everything synced? I hope to recover at least the home
directory as there are files there I would like to
recover... this is a home system so no backup tape :-{
