from RH9 to Fedora Core 2 without much success this afternoon. I went through
this four times so far with the same result. The install runs smoothly and when
I'm done it tells me to remove the media and reboot.
That part works but the Grub menu only shows the old RH-9 kernel 2.4 option. In fact I haven't been able to find the 2.6 kernel installed on my hard drive. It
appears that I'm still running RH-9 to write this message. [# uname -a
Linux box1 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux]
I thought well I'll find the RPM on Disk One and install the new kernel from there,
can't do that either since now it tells me /dev/cdrom "is not a block device,"
whatever that means, I've seen that before but don't know what to do to fix it? The
CDROM has always worked until I ran this install.
I have a 20 G hard drive with 23% used, 384 megs of RAM and /etc/fstab looks
ok to me:
[root@box1 root]# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 auto defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 auto defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/dos auto noauto,owner 0 0
Oh yes, the MD5SUM tests show pass for all four disks.
What have I done wrong? Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
Bob Goodwin,
