See . . all is perpect . . and we use the same section as we used in Drake 9.0 to boot the Cooker . . . It should boot normally .. . :'(What filesystem are you using ?? Ext3 ??Maybe just re-install cooker ( choose "upgrade"option ) on the same partiton . . do not write lilo to MBR but to floppy, so the one from Drake 10 does not get overwritten . . then check if it boots from floppy . . and from the entry we just made in Drake's 10 lilo . .

:thumbsup: B) Bruno,,,, I am guessing that this went well... I hope I am posting from BETA..... did the upgarde install (very quick, I might add) sent the bootloader to a floppy.. rebooted (without the floppy being used into BETA ???) ... I might (not sure) have to use the 10.0 boot disk to get back into 10.0 ... is that a valid thought ???? :thumbsup:

That be the culprit ..... it is the only one that is/was associated with the BETA edition .... but things have changed since I was last here tooo..... before I had to use the consol to get to the web ... now the KPPP window is available ...... strange I say,,, very strange ,,,,,, (as the tiny Leprechauns scurry away) :hmm:

Allright . . the MBR was overwritten by the cooker . . . Anyway glad the MBR is back to Drake 10 now . . . Would you mind to try the "Cooker" entry from the bootmenu on reboot . . . see if you still can boot Cooker ??:hmm: Bruno

Excellent Dale . . . now if I remember right hda11 was the cause of troubles . . so we do:

# kwrite  /mnt/hda9/etc/fstab

And the you place a "#" at the start of this line:

/dev/hda11 /mnt/hda11 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0
So it will look like:
# /dev/hda11 /mnt/hda11 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0
Then you save the file and reboot into Knoppix . . :DB) Bruno

:hmm: B) Okay... I think I did that right and I am in Knoppix 2.4 ... but the 2.6 gives me this error and then it stops the boot up process:kernel panic VFS unable to boot root fs hda11

:o :o :hmm: B) Bruno,,,,,,I most humbley appologize .... but I cannot do anything at all for the mental instability of the 2.6 kernel ... it has suffered from a severe exposure to a debilating nuclear reaction and is unable to determine where it's home is at ... I am at a loss as to what the next step should be ... except to re-install the entire OS and try again....of course I still have to re-install SLACK 10.0 too .. with a PS2 mouse and see if it will straighten out ..... :w00tx100: :clap2: Oh... an there is also Fedora .... :ermm: :ermm: :clap: ... but that is the last block in the construction process .... so far .... SuSE is the one I like best, Drake 10.0/10.1 not to bad either ... Knoppix has a bazillion pkgs to d/l and update.... the jury is still out on Slack... and that is the latest from the pacific coast.....

Hi DaleYou dare to install Fedora again . . . and you're on your own !!! . . . We have been getting a headache for the last 10 days because of that ******* Fedora ! :DSure If you want to re-install Knoppix . . . that is a good idea !! I can vote for that idea :w00tx100: . . . And Slackware . . have you still not redone that one ?? . . Man, where are your priorities ?? . . LOL . . :hmm: B) :clap2: Bruno
