a warning or two.
Jacob, let me go over your suggestion: boot the knoppix CD and
modprobe dm_mod, then mount /, meaning the partition that I usually
run from? And then chroot into that mounted partition and run the
lilo that I normally run?
Mount / as in the new root that you said you just installed but can't
get to boot. Don't forget to also mount /boot if it's not on the /
partition.
The rationale for the chroot before running lilo is that it works
better, in my experience. Knoppix is usually a bit newer than Debian
Stable which can cause some compatability problems, and you already
mentioned that the lilo in Knoppix was giving you errors. After doing a
chroot, any commands you run (including lilo) would be running the
Sarge version that you just installed, rather than Knoppix's version.
I tried that, and close but still no sigar...
modprobe dm_mod is OK.
Then I mount /mnt/hdc5 where the Sarge partition is, and chroot /mnt/hdc5.
When I run sudo /sbin/lilo -v 5 I get:
sudo: unable to lookup Knoppix via gethostbyname()

I set the permisions on /dev/hda to:

But the error remained.
How do I get past those permissions?
Thanks for your help.
