Found an ext3 -> mkinitrd procedure in the "debian reference"!
Tried it: created the initrd, ran lilo. No change. Put an initrd command in the lilo.conf. Smoked. (It finds the "cram", flags 0 block-size and panic!) ==== There are instructions in http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-knopx.html for system recovery booting from a knoppix CD. Tried that. su passwd chroot Permissions are not granted to chroot (easy enough to mount the partition write enabled and edit it but ...) Lilo will not work because the file system is read-only. Knoppix will run a lilo from the KDE but this does not have any effect and its message--something like "lilo might work but ..." dissappears with the closing of the window before I can read it! Tried a grub seqence from the debian reference. find /vmlinuz root to this result It finds the root as ext2fs Attempts to set initrd to ANY of the images I have yield inconsistant file system (possibly because knoppix has it mounted "correctly" as ext3). ===== Tried booting a "Dynebolic" CD. This one lets you chroot but has no lilo or grub. ===== So ... what can I do now? (I can always redo the knoppix hd-install which shouldwork with ext3 but this is starting from scratch. Knoppix CD boot will, presumably let me burn CDs (main reason I started with it) so I could save certain files, maybe even the desktop and kmail stuff but I really do not want to start from scratch.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
