Re: [gentoo-user] Problems booting my server - ext2 - e2fsck

2010-07-25 Thread Mick
u should have done after you finished upgrading to grub-0.97-r9. The latest installation of grub asks you to reinstall in the MBR and point its root to wherever your /boot is. GRUB's fs and its drivers may have changed and therefore the old boot loader code is looking for files that no longer exist. So you'll probably be alright again if you boot with a fresh systemrescue LiveCD and run grub and then root (hd) and setup (hd0) before you quit and reboot. If that doesn't work then you most likely have a fs problem. HTH. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

driver to consider, when all Linux solutions fail or don't work that well. I see on kernel v2.6.34-gentoo-r1 that CONFIG_B43LEGACY will now use V3 firmware, which must be installed separately using b43-fwcutter. Has the OP tried that? PS. The kernel help is also recommending that b43legacy is installed as a module. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

our original post. I think that you have been trying to use the wrong firmware. The link I suggested recommends that you use b43_fwcutter to install this firmware: http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o Alternatively, you may want to experiment with whatever is the latest firmware in Broadcom's website and see if any of those work. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
