Hi,
I have encountered a deadlink error at my hd-install which is the same at dsl-1.5 and dsl-2.0-rc2
If I (grub) boot with restore and install nmap.dsl with mydsl, an empty alert pops up and /bin which was symlinked to /KNOPPIX/bin before now deadlinks to /ramdisk/bin which does not exist. When this situation is active, I can only reboot by magical sysrequest because even /KNOPPIX/sbin/reboot does not work (no more runlevels left is the last message).
I wonder if this is due to the way I have managed the install and not a nmap.dsl package error...so see the details:
I have attached the target disk to another linux computer and I have fdisked and mkfs.ext2ed the target disk to
/dev/hda1 swap
/dev/hda2 swap
/dev/hda3 ext2
/dev/hda4 ext2
- I copied the dsl-*.iso loop mounted contents to /dev/hda3.
- Then I copied /dev/hda3/KNOPPIX/boot to /dev/hda3.
- And I copied from floppy linux24 and minirt24.gz to /dev/hda3/boot, too.
- Adjusted /dev/hda3/boot/grub/menu.lst
(pointing opt and home to /dev/hda4)
- booted from floppy the hd-image.
- executed grub-install
This works fine. Grub bootloader from hd works, dsl starts properly. I have no option to do a hd-install from floppy or a frugal install from cdrom because the target computer is a toshiba tecra 500cs with no cdrom.
If the error described above leads from the way I have managed the hd-install, where can I edit the corresponding files to repair it?
If this is no issue of my hd-install, then the nmap.dsl package seems broken, doesn't it?
