Hello Jarry, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am able to get into the system with the current setup that is the |
| 4 |
strange thing, I am NOT using the liveCD any more, I am booting using |
| 5 |
GRUB, it loads the kernel and then it prompts me for a root block |
| 6 |
device and then I enter /dev/sda6 <--- this is my sata drive and when |
| 7 |
I do this it mounts the root (sda6 is my root partition) my boot is |
| 8 |
/dev/sda1 |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Does this change any thing seeing I am able to do the above? if so |
| 11 |
what should I do? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Sincerely, |
| 14 |
christopher |
