Installing Drake 10.1

[réjean]

Hi Bruno!I see 10 kernels in MCC. I can post what's in the right pane for each one. In the meantime:

Sorry. I could get just the list of kernels!

[Bruno]

( was my mistake ) here are the corrected commands . . just run all 3 again

# rm -rf /boot/xandros# cp -r  /mnt/hda6/boot  /boot/xandros# ls -al  /boot/xandros

BrunoSorry . . getting to many phonecalls that distract me . . . . but it is okay now

[réjean]

No go!

[root@localhost real]# rm -rf /boot/xandros[root@localhost real]# cp -r  /mnt/hda6/boot  /boot/xandroscp: cannot stat `/mnt/hda6/boot': No such file or directory[root@localhost real]# ls -al  /boot/xandrosls: /boot/xandros: No such file or directory[root@localhost real]#

[Bruno]

Sure . . forgot that hda6 was not yet mounted

# mkdir /mnt/hda6# mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6# cp -r  /mnt/hda6/boot  /boot/xandros# ls -al  /boot/xandros

That should be the ones Bruno

[réjean]

Much, much better. Do you think that I can do the same with Ubuntu on my own?Here it is anyway:

Excellent . . . ( we will do Umbutu tomorrow . . let us first finish the projects for today Now

# kwrite /etc/lilo.conf

And make it look like this . . . see the RED parts

Good job Bruno!You had a slight typo and I left one comment at the top of the file when I deleted and copied otherwise it looks good:

LOL . . . what happened that you had to give the command so often ??Anyway let us try:

[réjean]

Hi again Bruno!My mouse goes nut sometimes when I try rolling the middle wheel but the Kwrite was fine and I deleted the comments.Here is /sbin/lilo

[Bruno]

Looks good Réjean . . . . ( sorry for the lilo.cinf . . LOL )Now we can install the kernel . . . go to the MCC type in kernel and choose this one:Name: kernel-2.6.8.1.12mdkVersion: 1-1mdkSize: 18966 KBInstall it with it dependencies it asks for ( just say "yes" to a pop-up that asks you ) and adter that I want to see the lilo again:

# cat /etc/lilo.conf

Because installing the kernel will change lilo automatically . . :DB) Bruno

[réjean]

Hi Bruno!Stupid me. I forgot telling you that Jason sent me a Drake Update CD. Don't know if that changes anything? Anyway. I installed the new kernel and here is /lilo.conf:

[root@localhost real]# cat /etc/lilo.conf# File generated by DrakX/drakboot# WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this filedefault="Mandrake"boot=/dev/hdamap=/boot/mapkeytable=/boot/us.kltpromptnowarntimeout=100message=/boot/messagemenu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bwimage=/boot/vmlinuz        label="Mandrake"        root=/dev/hda8        initrd=/boot/initrd.img        append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"        vga=788        read-onlyimage=/boot/xandros/vmlinuz-2.4.22-x1        label="Xandros"        root=/dev/hda6        initrd=/boot/xandros/initrd-2.4.22-x1.gz        append="rw acpi=on noagp"        vga=0xf04        read-onlyimage=/boot/vmlinuz        label="linux-nonfb"        root=/dev/hda8        initrd=/boot/initrd.img        append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5"        read-onlyimage=/boot/vmlinuz        label="failsafe"        root=/dev/hda8        initrd=/boot/initrd.img        append="failsafe acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5"        read-onlyother=/dev/hda1        label="windows"        table=/dev/hdaimage=/boot/vmlinuz        label="linux"        root=/dev/hda8        initrd=/boot/initrd.img        append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"        vga=788        read-onlyimage=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-12mdk        label="2681-12"        root=/dev/hda8        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.8.1-12mdk.img        append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"        vga=788        read-only[root@localhost real]#

[Bruno]

Yep it worked :

image=/boot/vmlinuz        label="linux"        root=/dev/hda8        initrd=/boot/initrd.img        append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"        vga=788        read-onlyimage=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-12mdk        label="2681-12"        root=/dev/hda8        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.8.1-12mdk.img        append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"        vga=788        read-only

This part was added at the bottom !!! . . . now open /etc/liloconf again and remove the first part of the two . label="linux" . . . we have that already:

image=/boot/vmlinuz        label="linux"        root=/dev/hda8        initrd=/boot/initrd.img        append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"        vga=788        read-only

Leave the second one . . . . 2681-12 . . .that is the new kernel !And show me "cat /etc/lilo" againB) Bruno

[réjean]

Is this what you want?

yep that comes close . . . now we will make it REALLY clear and better to read:We are moving the bottom part to 2nd place and call that one "Mandrake" . . and rename the first one to "Mandrake-up1GB" . . . . .

Hi Bruno!Good thing we made a Boot CD because before the last modifications my machine crashed. Itried rebooting. Could see the Drake Lilo menu but when I chose Mandrake or the last one (the number) the machine kept wanting t reboot). Anyway, with the CD I managed to get back into Drake and did your changes:

That was my comment . . and should not be there !Your quote is not perfect, but after removing the quote I showed you I think it is okayB) Bruno

[réjean]

Well Thanks a lot Bruno. It must be getting late for you. As I said the crash and restarting BEFORE I did the last modifications and your comment had nothing to do with it. I removed it nonetheless.

[Bruno]

Now run again:

# /sbin/lilo

And show me what it saysB) BrunoPS: Sorry I missed the crash . . . . . . yep I had a busy day . . . but we will finish this first

[réjean]

will look into this:

[root@localhost real]# /sbin/liloAdded Mandrake *Added XandrosAdded linux-nonfbAdded failsafeAdded windowsDuplicate entry 'vga' at or above line 52 in file '/etc/lilo.conf'[root@localhost real]#

[réjean]

There it is.....

Duplicate entry 'vga' at or above line 52 in file '/etc/lilo.conf'

Check your file . . . and run "/sbin/lilo" again . . . Bruno

[Bruno]

First show me the file . . but copy and past it from Kwrite this time . . .because your quotes from the "cat" are confusing !! Bruno

[réjean]

Latest /sbin/lilo:[root@localhost real]# /sbin/liloAdded Mandrake *Added XandrosAdded linux-nonfbAdded failsafeAdded windowsAdded 2681-12Fatal: Duplicate label "Mandrake"[root@localhost real]#

[Bruno]

RéjeanPull up the /etc/lilo.conf file in kwrite . . . and copy and paste it on the forum ;) Bruno

[Bruno]

Here is what we do Réjeanopen an empty kwrite file ( via the menu ) and paste this in the file:

# File generated by DrakX/drakboot# WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this filedefault="Mandrake"boot=/dev/hdamap=/boot/mapkeytable=/boot/us.kltpromptnowarntimeout=100message=/boot/messagemenu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bwimage=/boot/vmlinuz       label="Mandrake-up1GB"       root=/dev/hda8       initrd=/boot/initrd.img       append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"       vga=788       read-only       image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-12mdk        label="Mandrake"         root=/dev/hda8        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.8.1-12mdk.img        append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"        vga=788        read-onlyimage=/boot/xandros/vmlinuz-2.4.22-x1       label="Xandros"        root=/dev/hda6        initrd=/boot/xandros/initrd-2.4.22-x1.gz        append="rw acpi=on noagp "        vga=0xf04        read-only              image=/boot/vmlinuz       label="linux-nonfb"       root=/dev/hda8       initrd=/boot/initrd.img       append="acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5"       read-only       image=/boot/vmlinuz       label="failsafe"       root=/dev/hda8       initrd=/boot/initrd.img       append="failsafe acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5"       read-only       other=/dev/hda1       label="windows"       table=/dev/hda

No more . . no less . . check it . . Then save the file to your /home/rejean and call it "lilo.conf"Then

# cp  lilo.conf   /etc

It will ask if it should overwrite the file . . and you say YB) Bruno

[réjean]

Ok! It took a while to copy and paste and cut etc but here we are, no errors:

[real@localhost real]$ suPassword:[root@localhost real]# /sbin/liloAdded Mandrake *Added XandrosAdded linux-nonfbAdded failsafeAdded windows[root@localhost real]#

[Bruno]

But I miss this one: "Mandrake-up1GB"Try what I wrote in my previous post . . . . . and copy the full new lilo.conf in its place . . Bruno

[réjean]

and just for safety I'll do what you want me to do. I'm telling you my machine almost freezes on me.
