It exactly like XP, you change your computer and suddenly it doesn't boot.

This can probaly be fixed by changing /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab, depending on how mandrake is setup;I think this is universal, but I've only worked with Arch,Suse, and Gentoo. This(these) files, control how you drives are mounted. The first section of each line in /etc/fstab is the device(my root filesystem):

<fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>

/dev/hda2 / reiserfs noatime 0 0

 

 

So in your /etc/fstab you probaly need to change /dev/hdd to /dev/hd(X), from a liveCD or other working distro. Hope this helps.

It is like any OS. You change the location of where the bootloader tries to look for the boot and system files, then you need to tell the system where you changed the files to.

 

You will also need to change your entries in Grub or Lilo, whichever bootloader that you are using.

i boot off lilo from a 3.5 floppy. I tryed changing lilos syslinux.cfg life to point to hdb1 where the root is located but makes no difrence. Any more suggestions? i tryed using grub but only found allot of confusion.

 

Also what file does lilo actually point to.

[danleff 0]

Syslinux.cfg?

 

Let's start from the beginning.

 

How did you make the boot floppy? Did you make it during the install and tell Mandrake to use Lilo at /dev/fd0?
