Comment 11 for bug 153991

hey Eric ..

have got some good news for you ....

i have found yet more stuff to make it work .....

there are a few things i can add to the previous stuff ... if you do an update over fiesty then the boot menu still has the older kernal boot options .. so boot into the previous kernal and run the sudo update-initramfs -u ...

BUT even easrier than that you just edit the boot loader on boot ... this is what i have posted somewere else once i found it .....

and its took most of it to sort the problems out again ..
i installed ok then first boot got the busybox halt ..
so booted live cd again and added the fix to the intramfs module file .. BUT i ran the sudo update and it only updated the
live version .. tryed reboot and still nothing .. livecd and update then copy then file into the orginal file ... reboot and still faulty
so a bit more lookin in forums and found all_generic_ide that i add to the livecd F6 boot if i add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst, you will find a line like this: # kopt=root=/dev/sda1 ro

OR even easier than that ....

on the boot up screen you press "e" very quicklly ... then you can edit the menu.lst string from there ..

just find the line # kopt=root=/dev/sda1 ro and add the all_generic-ide to the end of the line before the --

next thing i have got to sort out is why gusty thinks my ide drives are scsi ??????

thats for another day ... anymore help on that give me a shout and i am willing to help as it took me about 4hrs to find and sort ..

cheeers luke
