List,
Please pardon my post. I'm a newbie. and a bad one at that. :o\
This applies to me precisely. Most of you probably saw my post earlier
this morning, and after beating <most> of the stupid out of myself,
I compiled a kernel properly, and managed to get into the install
process. However, when I try to load the operating system, I'm running
into trouble that isn't covered at all in the above url. Questions I
have would include, do I need to modify the root.bin disk? if so, how?
why? how about the driver disks? Do I need to do anything other than
modules.tgz? Do I have to install via driver disks? I can't get that
far, I am getting an error when I try to remount the rescue disk,at the
"install operating system kernel and modules" step, telling me Unable to
mount the Rescue Floppy. You may have inserted the wrong floppy. Please
try again" which I can't find any information on, at least, not yet. I
tried donwloading, from the net, but I get a wrong rescue disk error
there as well, so now I'm lost.
Again, I'm probably way out of my league here, but redhat just doesn't
do it for me. <g>
Thanks in advance,
duane
