upgraded system, boots but with problems


Hi:

I have a working system (Suse Linux 10.0), Pentium 4 1.5Ghrz, Two hard disk (80 GB Each) 750 MB of memory, ReiserFS for filesystem

I bough a new motherboard athlon 64 3000+, with 2 GB of DDR 400, the problem is that the Motherboard sees the HD, it boots, starts the booting process, then says loading /dev/hda1 ....... failed skiping
loading /dev/hda2....... falied skiping going to /usr/bin/sh

now I am in the shell. Just remember that the only new thing is the motherboard, but being a 64 bit motherboard I think that is confusing ReiserFS. Did anybody tried this? I can fix this?

Thanks

Welcome to LQ.

I am assuming that you are trying to start the old installation (made using the Pentium4 motherboard) using the new Athlon64 3000+ motherboard? Yes/No/Maybe?

Also please advise, if you know, what sort of connections the two 80GB HDD's had/have with the old and new motherboards ... ATA/SATA/SCSI/Other?

Finally, it would be useful to know what sort of media you have/had (used to install Suse10) in the first place. Set of 5 CD's/DVD/Internet or Network download?

Incidentally, do you have a LiveCD such as Knoppix hand - it may come in useful, to be used to partition and/or repartition one or both of your harddrives?

Looking forward to your responses, so that we can help you further.

Cheers
Richard
