| 00:00.01 | murble | Huhn: and this happens after first reboot? |
| 00:00.08 | Huhn | it's really weird, last time we couldn't mount combo drives |
| 00:00.13 | Huhn | murble: yeah, it does |
| 00:00.25 | Leeds | morning Huhn |
| 00:00.26 | murble | what bootloader are they using? |
| 00:00.54 | Huhn | hi Leeds |
| 00:01.07 | Huhn | murble: we're using grub on a working (!) suse installation |
| 00:01.23 | murble | Huhn: oh what boot line are you trying to use? |
| 00:01.35 | JD | 20:40:44 < daf> Riddell: you can't use 2.4 kernels earlier than 2.4.21 on an R40e |
| 00:01.54 | Huhn | mh, I can't check now I think it was definitely with acpi=off |
| 00:01.55 | JD | from this evening |
| 00:01.57 | Huhn | and nothing else |
| 00:02.22 | murble | nothing like root=... blah blah blah initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.blah.gz |
| 00:02.29 | Huhn | JD: it's a 2.4.21-99 |
| 00:02.52 | Huhn | ah, lemme think, it was sth with /dev/hda6 in it, which is the correct partition |
| 00:03.00 | Huhn | want me to boot into suse and check grub config? |
| 00:03.17 | murble | Huhn: oh are they not using the same grub install? |
| 00:03.20 | JD | Huhn: then I'm out of ideas |
| 00:03.31 | JD | have you checked linux-laptops.net |
| 00:03.33 | murble | Huhn: you should be able to read the other grub config from insdie grub |
| 00:03.37 | JD | or what ever he site is called |
| 00:03.37 | Huhn | JD: it could be sth with the bootloader |
| 00:03.47 | Huhn | JD: we have checked everything, suse is running fine on that machine |
| 00:03.54 | Huhn | it's just fucking Mandrake, heap of shite |
| 00:03.57 | murble | if you go to command mode then cat (hd0,whatver)/boot/grub/whatever |
| 00:03.58 | Huhn | sorry |
| 00:04.11 | Huhn | murble: on the mandy or on suse? |
| 00:04.19 | murble | I think formi is our resident mandy user. |
| 00:04.27 | murble | Huhn: hmm how do you have grub installed? |
| 00:04.39 | murble | and mandrake. |
| 00:04.48 | murble | are you in the grub cmd prompt? |
| 00:04.54 | Huhn | murble: I think we haven't installed grub on the Mandrake, only on the suse, that could be one prob |
| 00:05.15 | murble | Huhn: how are you trying to boot mandrake? |
| 00:05.44 | Huhn | /boot/grub/.. and several files there |
| 00:05.52 | Huhn | I'm a lilo person, never used grub before |
| 00:06.09 | murble | on the mandrake or suse partition? |
| 00:06.14 | Huhn | mandrkae |
| 00:06.15 | murble | Huhn: grub does tab complete |
| 00:06.36 | Huhn | murble: ? |
| 00:06.54 | murble | Huhn: at the grub prompt you can type (hd0,<tab> and it gives you all drives etc. |
| 00:07.09 | Huhn | murble: which prompt are you talking about? |
| 00:07.24 | Huhn | want me to reboot? |
| 00:07.52 | murble | Huhn: oh are you in suse? |
| 00:08.02 | Huhn | no, I'm in Mandrake |
| 00:08.13 | murble | oh it boots? |
| 00:08.27 | Huhn | since X is not working (no mouse, but know how to fix that prob) I'm on the console |
| 00:08.30 | Huhn | murble: yes, sorry, whyt we have is: |
| 00:08.38 | RevRob | anyone in the Tooting/Balham area of London that wants a ride to the meeting tomorrow? |
| 00:08.41 | Huhn | murble: me too, sorry, I'll try again, ok? ;) |
| 00:08.47 | murble | 'k |
| 00:09.02 | Huhn | want to move to a query and not bother the rest of the channel? |
