Slackware 10.2 CD won't mount?!
Hey guys,
After I input this into my boot CD Code:
Sata.i root=/dev/sda2 Code:
mount /dev/hda Code:
/dev/hda Code:
cp /dev/hda/kernels/sata.i/config /usr/src/linux/.config |
Perhaps it's already mounted. Else use the whole command to be sure:
Code:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom Regards |
I did what you said Bathory and got /mnt/cdrom doesn't exist
did "dmesg" had some errors :( sdb : Read capacity failed sdb : I/O error : dev 08:10, sector 0 unable to read partition table Dawm Kernel if only I could write in it but it keeps on failing :( Imma loose my valuable files :....-( |
Mmm one thing i don't get, your partition seems to be at sda, your cd-rom at hda, and in your log messages you get a complain about sdb?
Perhaps you could try booting using the CD's system (instead of setting root to the harddisk), and mount the partition from there to see what you get. |

I don't remember if it's on CD 1 or 2. If it's on CD 2, just boot with 1 and then replace the CD on the tray.
After that, if /mnt/cdrom doesn't exist, create it with: Code:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom Code:
mkdir /mnt/hdd Code:
mount /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom Code:
chroot /mnt/hdd |
Sorry for not responding I just recently been sick :( where were we ;
gbonvehi I did what you said but I got this trying to mount /dev/hda Code:
block device /dev/hda is write-protected mounting read-only Code:
cp /mnt/cdrom/slackware/kernel/sata.i/config: No such file or directory |
CDs are always mounted read-only, so that's not a problem. Are you sure you're using the correct path to the file?
|
Mmm I don't have the CDs right here, but I think kernels/ directory is not inside slackware/. Try browsing the directories until you find the config file. Basic *nix commands cd and ls should be enoguh.
cd - Get's into a directory, like cd /mnt/cdrom. cd .. (two dots) goes back one level. ls - list files, i guess you understand it :) With shift+pgup you'll be able to scroll the console if you need it. |
thanks guys for your help but to no avail has the kernel went back to its original form :(
|
What do you mean?
