no, it is NOT in the handbook. there were many mistakes. i only remember the 3: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1.) i had a Serial-ATA drive and AMD64 on ASUS with VIA chipsets. |
| 17 |
kernel-compilation part of Handbook asks to choose PPP options and MCE |
| 18 |
features etc etc but it did not tell to select VIA82xx and VIA SATA |
| 19 |
and VIA PATA options for serial driver. any Serial-ATAhard-disk will |
| 20 |
not boot properly without them. (of course, others will have some |
| 21 |
other motherboards, Intel e.g., but we can leave that to the user for |
| 22 |
finding the specific SATA and PATA drivers inthe kernel.) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2.) i entered "/dev/hda" instead of "/dev/sda" in "/etc/fstab. my |
| 25 |
mistake, of course. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
3.) i entered "/dev/sda1 / ext3" when i had reiserfs fro my /. this |
| 28 |
too was my mistake |
