retrieve linux located in my pc but not reachable

Posted: 12 Oct 2006 01:57 PM PDT

boot into the rescue mode (you can achieve this by typing linux rescue
at the prompt that appears when you boot from the redhat install cd)

Skip any "Configure network interfaces" dialog that appears.


now type the following commands:

chroot /mnt/sysimage

grub-install /dev/hda (replace /dev/hda with your name of the hdd)

Frank -

While I agree with you that it would be nice to do an incremental
component-by-component test battery for every server one puts on the
line, I've never heard of any IT department having the staff resources
to do that kind thing for small systems. I've heard of that kind of
detail being paid to clusters and high-availability systems, though.
We don't build many white-box servers anymore, but, occasionally, we
try to stretch our dollars using what's in inventory. Pulled
components may get an extra life or two this way. We'll let a unit run
a week or so and check the logs for trouble before putting it into
production, but that's about all we can realistically hope to do.

Grub Error 22 - Ubuntu / Win2k - Can't boot linux session

Posted: 10 Oct 2006 05:42 AM PDT

--------------------------Reply to above post:

In order to fix the problem, you need to make sure of a couple of
things:

1. Is your harddrive an IDE or SCSI drive, in other words, is it hdX or
sdX?
2. Ensure GRUB knows where to look for the linux bootable kernel....
3. You need to know the naming conventions for GRUB. Instead of the
usual hda1 for the first partition on your drive, GRUB sees this as
hd0,0 where hd0 is hda, and hd1 would be hdb. (These are zeroes, not
ohs). GRUB needs to know where your root ( / ) partition is, so you
have to tell it "root (hd0,0)" for a root filesys on /dev/hda1.
Assuming you have an IDE drive (/dev/hda under linux) at the GRUB boot
prompt press 'e' to edit the entry for your linux partition. Ensure
the root line is : root (hd0,1)
This tells GRUB to look at /dev/hda2, your ext3 file system. (if you
have a scsi drive, change hd to sd in the root command above.

Ensure the kernel line is correct and points to your kernel. You can
also pass any boot parameters at this time to the kernel as well. One
important note on this is the root= parameter on this line. Your
kernel line should resemble the one below:

kernel /boot/<your kernel> root=/dev/hda2 [any parameters you wish to
pass]

once again, if you are using a scsi drive, change the hd to sd above.

Once you are sure that the parameters are correct, press 'b' to boot
your linux kernel.

If you receive any kernel panic errors, recompile the kernel. You will
most likely need a LiveCD to do this.

Once you are booted into your linux environment, you should review
/boot/grub/menu.lst and make the corrections for your linux kernel boot
instruction.

I use GRUB 0.97 on a Compaq Presario 2188CL laptop with a linux system
I built using LFS and BLFS from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org

If you really want to learn how a distribution is built, and know your
system from the inside to the STDOUT, read the LFS book. Then follow
the book (at least the section on GRUB if you want to continue using
UBUNTU).

I believe gdm wants to start at least once correctly before writing the

why don't export commands work in bash_profile

How are you running the script? If you run it in the normal way, a new
shell is started to interpret the script and the export commands effect
only that shell and processes started from it. If you want to run the
script in the current shell so that the export commands set variables
in the current environment you must use the "source" command to execute
the script.

can't mount DVD

Mmm. I got a DVD teh other day and it wouldn't mount either. Same error

My conclusion is that some DVDs have enough crap in their header blocks
to screw a DVD drive.

If you are trying to rip a pre recorded, and it won't mount, I reckon
its copy protection..

mount: RPC: program not registered

This all seemed to be ok. I compared the system with the problems [A]
and another one where I *could* connect to [B]. Running rpcinfo -p "A"
gives the message: No programs registered.
In the meantime I upgraded A from Slacxkware 10.2 to 11.0, and now it
works perfectly well.
But I still would like to know what was wrong...
