Re: lilo problem
hi ya
if it hands on "ramdisk"... remove that initrd line...
and/or make sure the file exists as typed
initrd is not needed if your kernel has all the hardware
drivers needed to boot...
i dont think a new kernel in sid ( hdc ) will solve anything
for redhat stuff in hda...
if you're referring to redhats "simple install"..
- just boot the cdrom and tell it upgrade
and it will go thru what you got ant ask you
what else you want
rh is such a pita aint it???
my fav comment is its designed to generate
$300/incident tech support phone calls...
- especailly things that used to work gets broken...
( simple and everyday stuff.. apache, pop3, nfs, etc
c ya
