Description of problem:
I got a Fedora CD from Linux Expo in NYC and installed it over RH9.0 -
 and it totally screwd my Linux. 
All installation went smooth without any warnings.
During the Fedora boot I got many messages like:
modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0
modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1
modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.20-
8/modules.dep (no such file or
directory)

I lost access to my Win partitions, I lost the Internet access and 
sound.
When I try to mount a Win partition I am getting:
mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel

Any ideas what happened?

Thanks,
JW

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2004-01-22 19:14:27 UTC
modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-0
modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1

These are ALSA messages. Looks like you installed it on top of your
RHL9 installation, FC1 has no idea about ALSA, so little wonder it
went wrong.

modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.20-
8/modules.dep (no such file or directory)

This looks like the FC1 kernel didn't install (or it left the
old one on the boot menu, and you booted it)
Reinstall the FC1 kernel off the CD and boot that.

The missing vfat module would also be explained by this.

What are ALSA messages?
How do you reinstall the FC1 kernel off the CD?

Thanks,

JW

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
