Sarge Installation not bootable
Hello *,
I have two workstations running Woody with some Backports.
WS 1: AsusTek A7V600-X with Sempron 2200+, 512 MB of memory
IBM DAQA-33240 (3,2 GByte)
WS 2: AsusTek A7V600-X with Athlon XP 3000+, 3 GBytre of memory
IBM DHEA-36480 (6,4 GByte)
first I have tried to make an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' which was
working fine on both WS but since I have gotten a kernel upgrade
I had to reboot... Oops...
"No operating system. Please insert system disk."
On both machines! I have used the netinstall 3.1r0a.
OK, now, since the netinstall does not offer a "rescue" system,
I have used my own self-made one... written the bootsektor using
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /rescue
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /rescue/tmp
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /rescue/usr
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda6 /rescue/var
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda7 /rescue/var/log
lilo -r /rescue
and lilo was written without any problems...
After rebooting I have gotten the same problem.
OK, now I have downloaded a newer netinstall CD 3.1r1 and erased
the whole HDD's. rebooted to reinitialise the Harddrive and installed
using NEW partitions Sarge again.
All was working fine but again, Booting failed. - WHY?
OK, new installation and now at the end I was looking on VT3 <F3> and
have seen, that at the end of the installation (writing lilo), the
inataller was not able to find the partitions anymore, but THE ARE in
/proc visible.
Now since I have two productiosn systems I have rebooted with my
Woody-Rescue CD reinitialized using badblockscan the partitions,
mounted it and uncompressed the saved Woody tarball and written lilo
on the harddrive. Now the HDD's are working fine with Woody again.
Please can you point me to some resources how to solv this problem?
Oh yes, i am using for installation Linux 2.4.27 but personaly Linux
2.4.(31|32).
The upgrade of my FileServer (AsusTek A7V600-X + Sempron 2200+, 256 MB
3w8500-4LP with 4 IBM/Hitachi 400 GByte) was running perfectly.
The same for my PostgreSQL Server (AsusTek A7V600-X, Athlon XP 3200+,#
2 GBytem, 3Ware 3w8500S-8LP with 4 Western Digital Raptor WD1500GD)
