dijk Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) Hi. When I install kernel-sources (the installation goes smoothly, by the way) and does a remaster (goes smoothly, too) and then burn the remaster. When I'm booting, I get sent to "Busybox built in shell", ash. Any idea what the problem might be? I'm using Toronto and the "right" version of kernel-sources. All my previous remasters work perfectly. I'm installing kernel-sources to be able to get the NVIDIA-driver, to get 3D-effects (with Beryl). By the way, when will the next version be released? It's called "pilota". Edited October 18, 2007 by dijk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Have you updated initscripts before the remaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijk Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 How do I do that? I don't know that much LINUX, I'm new to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 It depends, Did you remaster after installing MCN to harddisk, or on the fly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijk Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 I usually do it on the run (livecd mode) but I have a harddisk install too. Which one do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Well, a live remaster is usually good enough fo minor image changes. But for major changes (new kernel, initscripts, major packages...) a HD installation is always preferrable. If you have some harddisk space available, but don't want to disrupt your current OS'es, a convenient solution is installing MDE under VMWare or VirtualBox. The virtual OS is as good as a real one (for 99.5% of the tasks one would wish, anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijk Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Done. Harddisk installation under Virtualbox. :D How do I update the initscripts under a harddisk install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 How do I update the initscripts under a harddisk install? The usual way you upgrade your system: setting up urpmi repos (via easyurpmi), and either "urpmi --auto-select" (if using urpmi), or "sudo smart update && sudo smart upgrade" if using Smart Package Manager. MCN should still be set against the 2007.1 repos- unless I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijk Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Solved. Apparently a HDInstall and a urpmi.update -a whas all that was required. All done in Virtualbox. THX scarecrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
