Installation - another n00bie MintabiePete - 31.07.2006, 05:13 Uhr Titel: another n00bie
I have had experience of having to re install windoz when changing motherboards , and thought I was safe with linux , but it seems I cant access Kanotix .
I get /bin /dash: cant access tty job control urned off
/bin /sat:/sys/block/hda/hda2/dev no such file or directory
can I fix this up using the live disk ? and how ?
thanks

Boot with your kanotix cd, once to the desktop, click on the "fish" icon on the kicker > kanotix installer, once that pops up you should be in the Welcome menu put a tick in the very last option Recover an existing Kanotix-HD-Installation, then click Next.
Ok, now the Root-Partition is the only thing you change, make it look like
/dev/hda2 (or whatever kanotix is installed to)
press NEXT, it will take a few minutes and will let you know when done, then reboot and your grub menu should be back with windows and kanotix (if windows is installed)
Assuming that kanotix is installed to hda2

I tried the first part Kanotix-installer
it tell me that Grub
/dev/hdc2
Root Parition
and I get an error
Grub Install Returned 1 as error code
When I try to boot to the HDD I get /bin/sat: /sys/block/hda/hda2/dev no such file or directory
Do I have to change /dev/hdc2 to /hda/hda2 ?
thanks

Hmm, what kind of harddive SATA ? , Are you running raid ?
What version of kanotix ? and what kernel ? 32 or 64 bit ?

I am just running normal PATA ide 40gb with Win 2000 pro /Kanotix , HDD partitoned 20 gb Windoz 20gb linux It is 32 bit .
I decided I had enough backed up so ended up doing a re install , thanks for the info , I would like a way to repair this if it happens again or at least a way to repair the partition . I expected the trouble with windoz but not linux
