linux booting errors
I have RED HAT 9.0 , I am getting problem while booting.
i have lilo, i used the following command: mv /etc/lilo.conf /dev/null then install grub. after rebooting the maching grub was there.. it starts booting my machine... but after some time it gives these errors: Mounting Proc File system: dup2: bad file or desriptor name [failed] grep: no such file or directory Configuring kernel parameter dup2: bad file or desriptor name [failed] Setting Clock dup2: bad file or desriptor name [failed] load default keymap(us) /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit line:162: /dev/null Read Only File System Setting hostname localhost dup2: bad file or desriptor name [Failed] /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit :line 173: /dev/null read only filesystem [failed] /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit :line 173: /dev/null read only filesystem [failed] Initialising usb controller : dup2: bad file or desriptor name [failed] /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit 184 /dev/null read only filesystem /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit 184 /dev/null read only filesystem /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit 200 /dev/null read only filesystem [failed] awk:cmd:line2:fatal:cannot open /proc/mounts for reading (no such file) checking root file system : dup2: bad file or desriptor name [failed] any suggestion: Thanks Adam |
Isn't the correct procedure to remove lilo "lilo -U"?

this is not a grub issue but a /dev/null issue as google found this
