All;
I'm in the process of re-loading a older box. The intent is to extend
the life of an older computer by using it as a firewall device. (it's an
older Pentium 75). I've been running linux of varied flavors on it for
years.
I "had" LM 8.0 on it before, so I know it works. But this time, it fails
to load. What happens is:
I go through the first part of the install process, and through the
software selection. It then loads the software. At the end of that, it
pops up a window proclaiming an ldonfig error, and kicks me back to the
disk partitioning window. (note: the disks were already partitioned, or
it couldn't have loaded the software...).
I'm baffled (which isn't hard to do actually..).
The only thing that MAY be different this time is the way I was using
LVM. I partitioned the disks (there are 2 of them) as:
Disk0
1 128MB primary for /
2 256 MB for swap
3 extended
Disk1
Not partitioned.
Using LVM to create a single Volume Group encasing partition 3 on disk0,
and all of disk1. Then set up logical volumes for:
/usr
/var
/tmp
.
.
.
etc.
I've run /usr under LVM in the past without problem, so I don't
understand the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
If you need more detail, let me know , and I'll send it along.
Thanks!!!
Ric
