i was able to mount it (/dev/hda3) and all images en maps where there, but now i cant mount anymore :(

Lo, I'm having some trouble getting my bootloader back so i can swich between windows an mandrake 10. I had mandrake installed, and now i just installed windows xp on an other partition... Now i cant ge the bootloader back with the rescue option and re install bootloader, and an update doen't work either. When i try to reinstall bootloader i first get (while mounting partitions) mount: wrong fs type, bad aption, bad superblock on /dev/hda3 ... my boot partition (i can still mount it via console), the it asks me if i want to reinstall bootloader and when i agree it says: Fatal open /boot/message: no such file or directory When i try to update i get similar error: First it takes a while when he is checking /dev/hda5 my root partition, then he reaches the bootloader and he says: And error occurred no kernel installed. I press ok and select lil graphical to boot on /dev/hda2 then it says: An error occured lilo failed: Warning:'/pro/partitions' does not exist, disk scan bypassed Fatal: opeen /boot/message: no such file or directory Anyone any suggestions? I need to get it back running soon, some deadlines comming up :o /etc/lilo.config /dev/hda5 / ext2 errors=remount-ro,,noatime 0 1 /dev/hda3 /boot ex2 ... ... /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/win_d ntfs /dev/hda6 swap swap sw there are to windows partitions because dell seems to do this one of tem is very small 30mb or so lilo.conf boot=/dev/hd6 ----> shoudnt this be /dev/hda3 map=/boot/map ... message=/boot/messag --->problem line .... image=/boot/vmlinuz label='linux' root=/dev/hda5 .... if i try to mount hda3 manually it is complaining about a bad super block when i try to mount /dev/hda3 it says i can't guess file system so i do mount -t ext2 /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 and that gives: zrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3, or tou many mounted file systems (aren't you trying to mount en extended partition, isntead of some logical partition inside?) adress of my /dev/hda3 has changed?

hmmm webmin seems a good tool but still no luck excerpts boot.log: May 12 13:44:56 chief network: Setting network parameters: succeeded May 12 13:44:57 chief network: Bringing up loopback interface: succeeded May 12 13:44:57 chief network: Bringing up interface eth1: failed May 12 13:45:09 chief dhcpd: dhcpd startup failed

the first time i ran linuxconf it worked fine and i changed the settings, after that it reported an error it could not start dhcpd ... so i tried rebooting since i allready had ran the drak wizzard for internet but linuxconf is freezing on me now when i try "hostname and ip network devices" btw i have webmin installed but i doesn't accept my normal login and passwd? do i have to set one first somewhere? it doesn't seem to end... *update* ok had to use root login, stupid me :)

ok but KDE is runnig perfectly .. but it aint over yet .. the linuxconf is crashing on me know the first time i changed evryting but then linuxconf reported some error s that it could not start dhcpd, i rebooted and tried again but now simetimes the linuxconf freezes when i try to acces network configuration and sometimes ik can edit settings but then some text disapears what the hell is going on *UPDATE* ok I reinstalled gdm and everything seems to work fine now

you are right iim using fluxbox right now and that seems to work just fine

Lo, I just installed mandrake 10 community yesterday and strange things are happening in X... When I logon i can open a few things but after a while when i click the button for a gnome-terminal for example it shows up in in my window list "'starting gnome terminal" but then i t just disepears ... The funny thing is that everything i opened before the time period stays and keeps working, i'm typing in mozilla in that mandrake right now! When i switch tot textual console i can do everything. Gnome reponds to everything except at opening new things... I looked at my Xfree86 log and found this: AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:48 2004: 4135 X: client 20 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:48 2004: 4135 X: client 20 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:48 2004: 4135 X: client 20 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:48 2004: 4135 X: client 20 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:58 2004: 4135 X: client 19 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:58 2004: 4135 X: client 19 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:58 2004: 4135 X: client 19 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:03:58 2004: 4135 X: client 19 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:04:32 2004: 4135 X: client 17 rejected from local host AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:15:01 2004: 4135 X: client 17 rejected from local host I swiched back to graphical mode and strted another gnome terminal and went back to log to see what changed .. this is what i found... (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument (II) Mouse1: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded AUDIT: Wed May 12 10:19:09 2004: 4135 X: client 17 rejected from local host Do i need apm service? [edit] Ok i remember it alll started when i tried gdm instead of kdm and it gave me an x font error, so i think it has to do with xfs.. I found some other users with the same problem while browsing some more forums... http://linuxquestions.org/questions/showth...5879#post885879 gonna try and upgrade my xfs [/edit]

Ok this is funny i remove cfg-eth0 from network-scipts in /etc/sysconfig and when i reboot it doesn't work but when go to configuration tool and then to internet stuff without changing anything it works.. but when i don't go there it doens't work ??? strange things going on... [edit] woohoo we can edit our posts now :) does anyone know how the system configuration tool works? what files it makes? when i click system configuration tool then I give my root passwoord internet configuration make new connection i select cable the i select eth1 en without doing anything else after the clicking of the box after eth1, my internet works, so i suppose it creates some file at that point? [/edit]

K that didn't work but eth0 and eth1 or not mentioned in /etc/init.d/network

what if change /etc/sysconfig/network now its: HOSTNAME=chief NETWORKING=yes GATEWAYDEV=eth0 and would like to try and change it to: HOSTNAME=chief NETWORKING=yes GATEWAYDEV=eth1

but its easier to relaese ip with: linux: ifdown <device> for ex. ifdown eth0 windows: ipconfig /release

i know i had to do that a few times for gettin knoppix online...

THANK YOU! It's working... Is this setting being saved now or do i have to add to an init script or something else?
