chris-tux Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Hi all, I have tried to migrate from 10.0 to 10.1 official with lot of difficulties (more than all the previous migrations...exemple:10.1 found that my PC has 2 processors now !!!). Anyway, it seems now that everything works more or less except my dvb applications (vdr...). It seems that there is a problem between kernel 2.6.8 and the DVB drivers or the firmware of my dvb-s card. So, I want to boot back to my old 2.6.7 kernel. I thought that when you choose upgrade during the installation of 10.1, you can still have access to your old kernel. But when I choose 2.6.7 at lilo prompt, I can't go up to the login process... Please, I will appreciate to boot my old 10.0 Chris [chris@tuxedo chris]$ cat /etc/lilo.conf # File generated by DrakX/drakboot # WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file default="linux" boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map keytable=/boot/fr-latin1.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="splash=silent" vga=791 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="splash=silent" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk label="263-7" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3-7mdk.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-smp label="linux-smp" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-smp.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent" read-only other=/dev/fd0 label="floppy" unsafe image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk label="alt_263-7" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3-7mdk.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe acpi=ht splash=silent" read-only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 no wonder you can't boot into 2.6.7. you only have 2.6.3 kernels in your lilo.conf. create duplicate entries of your first linux boot sequence and change the kernelnumber in vmlinuz and initrd to 2.6.7. also make sure that the 2.6.7 kernel is still installed. if it is on another partition (another distro) you need to change the /dev/hdxx entries accordingly.

chris-tux Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Sorry, I should have written 2.6.3-7 as it is in lilo.conf. After reading a previous and having added "devfs=nomount" I have succedeed to go to the login. 2.6.3-7 is loaded but my dvb application (vdr) is not working anymore (no more /dev/dvb/...). Since I do not understand devfs and udev (in 2.6.3-7, I thought that defvsd was automatically creating the devices for me..) I can't make any progress :unsure: Ooops... Any Help Appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
