Hi...

I've been trying DSL and like it so much that I wanted to install it to my hard drive.

I don't have much linux experience (ok... none) but the instructions seemed clear.

I created a partition on one of my hard drives ( /dev/hdc1). and then used the dsl-hdinstall script.  It all went well, or so I thought.

When I boot from the CD everything works fine. My network card is recognized and I can get to the internet (that's how I'm writing this now, booted from the CD).  When I boot without the CD, from the Hard drive. I get a lot of these modules not found messages.  I've got to admit it took me a lot to figure out how to view them and copy them here....  I'm learning, but slowly.  

So anyone have any idea what I've done wrong?  Like I said it works create from a CD boot. I can get to myLinux and install stuff, no problem...

When I boot from the Hard Drive... DSL comes up but it hasn't detected the network card and who knows what else..

I don't know what version of DSL I have (the CD is in the drive and I can't open it now...) but I just downloaded it a week ago from this site so it's pretty current.

Thanks for the help.

my /var/log/messages file from the hard drive boot follows

It looks like you didnt get it all installed.  I would reformat the drive and install it again (and luckily it doesnt take too long)

Looks like he might have had an old Debian(?) or Puppy(?) install on that partition.

I agree with Joat_mone, reformat the partition, and try again.

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
