| 295203 | 2004-11-27 09:14:00 | thanks:) im gonna leave yoper on those partion because im sure theres gotta be a way to fix it, i have tried 2 file systems reiser4 and ext3 and at the moment it is ext3, if that helps, oh and also that SWAP i formated it as linux-swap was that the way to go? cheers |

| 295205 | 2004-11-27 09:36:00 | Need to get Chill to clarify his instructions, I had a go myself at it and couldn't chroot to the hda like you normally would, ended up going around in circles :D. Not sure if this is a Yoper disc related thing being that it isn't really set up as a rescue disk. What file system did you format it with? If you used reiser4, I'm not sure whether Knoppix 3.6 recognises this, I know Knoppix 3.4 doesn't which will limit your options. |

| 295207 | 2004-11-27 10:08:00 | > ext3. ah ok. Hmm .. just had another go at this, and this should work for you (slightly modifying Chill's instructions): Boot with the Yoper disc, and at the root@(none):/yos/ram$ prompt enter in: cd mnt Then enter in: mkdir yoper If you entering in 'ls' you will see a directory called yoper listed. Next lot of commands: mount /dev/hda2 yoper [the prompt should look like this: root@(none):/yos/ram/mnt$] chroot yoper [prompt changes to: root@(none):/$] /sbin/lilo [this will reinstall lilo and you will see info such as "Added YOS" and *hopefully* "Added Windows" (or whatever it calls it). If not, you might be back to a single booting Linux machine again temporarily ...] |

| 295209 | 2004-11-27 14:40:00 | If you chose Reiser4 as a root partition, you'll needa grab the likes of: www.lxnay.scarlet.nl lxnay's Gentoo LiveCD based on kernel-2.6.8-nitro5 IIRC Otherwise if you're using Ext3, then any LiveCD Distro will suffice. Check out namesys.com and see why I recommend Reiser4. Its basically a high-speed "unbreakable" file-system :-) I think Jen has sufficiently clarified. Seems odd about your boot-loader though :-/ |

| 295211 | 2004-11-30 04:17:00 | Hi Prescott I see from another thread, that you are still stuck? You never replied whether you actually managed to chroot to your / and reinstall Lilo and what the outcome of that was? Exactly what stage are you at now? |

| 295212 | 2004-11-30 05:05:00 | whoops my bad, im sure its a setting somewhere, maybe in the partioning part, but yeah those commands that you gave me never worked, the first 2 did but when i get to mount /dev/hda2 yoper i got an message saying something,( i cant seem to find my sheet that i wrote on the error message so ill try it again), the strange thing was that when i first installed it it worked my my os was not going and now that my os is going linux isnt, what can i do, im just gonna retry those commands and get that error message cheers |
