Why after the installation, grub.conf as not configured correctly ? I have the linux system and a small partition for Windows Y2K. With the rescue disc and some manipulation (daemon and conf X), I update the system with RHN update. But the grub not configured to. The system can not be installed because is update from a downloaded distribution ? what kind of controller are your disks attached to ? I use IDE controller struture : hda -> hda1 FAT32 -> hda2 EXT3-FS root -> hda3 EXT3-FS .... -> hda4 logical -> hda5 .... -> hda6 .... I downloaded from errata RH 8 the kernel : kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0.athlon.rpm. I installed it with rescue CD with command : rpm -ivh ..... RPm says : "error grubby : ... template not found ". I manually configured the grub.conf. NOW, I have a other error : Kmod : failed to exec /sbin/modprob -s -k block-major-8, error = 2 I describe sur procedure for reproduce this bug : 1 : install Redhat 7.3 2 : use RHN and update agent for update the distrib. 3 : download RedHat 8.0 from web-site 4 : burn CDs 5 : install with upgrade mode. - WARNING : for CD boot : the APIC must be set (in 7.3 : NO) - WARNING : anaconda prevent with a message that some RPM is more recently than RPM on RH8. It's normal for me. I ask a question : Why the kernel installed and the jernek download with update agent have for exemple kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0debug . are they some problems with donwloaded distributions ? Can anyone answer today ? RedHat Linux is my main OS, it's not for gaming and tests, It's for working (web-devellopement, linux web site). - WARNING : for CD boot : the APIC must be set (in 7.3 : NO) what do you mean by that ? With RH 7.3, in my BIOS, the APIC function was disabled. When I make the first CD-boot of RH8 install, while the boot, the system halt on a message "VSR00002" I think. I go to my BIOS, I set the APIC function with MIPS mode 1.4, and the install-CD boot correctly. For the last kernel-panic, I don't have scsi hardware, but I have a cd-writer which must have ide-scsi emulation. Created attachment 89052 [details]
log of installation
Could you collect all of the boot messages from the boot CD via a serial console? Booting with console=ttyS0,38400 will send all kernel messages to com1 at 38400 bps. You suppose that I have a modem connection. But, I have a ADSL connection. WARNING, when I read the list of messages during boot, some messages show errors that I not read correctly because these messages appair fastly. If I re-install all of RH8. Include formatinf partition and configuration. is it a chance to have a linux that work ? Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product.
