feralertx You are correct. I used the hd.img from the ISO and was able to perform the HD installation.

Ok, So I used my office computer CD-R to burn an ISO to get around trying to to do a HD install. Booted up from CD1 and went through the paces. Patition the disk (will be a dual boot with existing W98), selected the packages to install and right after proceeding, I get an error saying it could find the packages. Retried the install two more time and same thing both times at same point. What's up v9.2, I haven't used LM since 7 or so and didn't have these problems. Running out of patience. Might go back to RH9 or try Debian.

I used a sector editor to make the change and still the same error as I descibed in the first posting. I too think there deeper kernel issue and new images are needed. Thanks for requesting them. I tried three sector editors. The first two were free to try, but the 'Save' button was disabled. But then I came across Hex Workshop from BreakPoint Software. I chose to use version 3.11 and it allowed the image to be Saved. You can download it at: Hex Workshop download Thanks for your help. Randy

Counterspy, I used a sector editor and searched the hd.img disk. I did find one occurance of 2.4.22-21mdkBOOT

I'm trying to install LM 9.2 using the hd.img boot disk, but it fails saying can't access kernal modules...missing a file..create a new boot floppy. Here is a recap of events: Booted from A drive with hd.img Choose hda1 for the partition where LM 9.2 is copied. Entered the directory (ISO image file) containing LM 9.2 disribution. mandrake/Mandrake92-cd1-inst.i586.iso Program loaded into memory... Choose English Language Accepted License Agreement Selected type of mouse Received the following Error: "An Error occurred Can't access the kernel modules corresponding to your kernel (file /lib/modules.cz-2.4.22-21mdkBOOT is missing), this generally means your boot floppy is not in sync with the installatio medium (please create a newer boot floppy)." I've tried various hd.img's from different (LM 9.2) mirror locations and each has errored at the same point with the same error. Any suggestions? Thanks!
