I've moved my old system over to a new hard drive. I thought I was fairly meticulous in copying things over (compared all permissions, ownerships, links and other special files between the two file systems). I edited lilo.conf and fstab, then shutdown, changed the drives master/slave jumpers and rebooted from the rescue floppy.
I used the install program to mount all the partitions and to mkswap. Next I switched to the console and copied my kernel to a floppy. Evidently, I have overlooked something. I only get through the first little bit of the boot sequence (I can write out the whole thing , one screen full, if anyone wants it) up to where all the partitions are named and VHS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. then Unable to open an initial console Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this ?
