199 | Grub sometimes fails to install properly on RAID systems. This is
|
---|
200 | caused by a bug in your copy of 'grub-install', which comes with your
|
---|
201 | copy of the 'grub' package. To work around the problem, please boot
|
---|
202 | into Interactive Mode; at the screen asking if you want to install
|
---|
203 | your boot sector, please use the <Alt>-cursor keys to move to
|
---|
204 | another terminal, where you should type 'chroot /mnt/RESTORING'
|
---|
205 | followed by the magical incantation to install Grub; finally, type
|
---|
206 | exit and return to the mondorestore screen where you should continue
|
---|
207 | to answer the on-screen questions.</P>

210 | On Mandrake 9.1, if you have an LVM-on-software-RAID filesystem
|
---|
211 | setup, you might have problems with Nuke Mode. The LVM volumes might
|
---|
212 | fail to be created. The solution is to boot into Interactive Mode and
|
---|
213 | increase (I just double) the size of /dev/md0, which you usually do
|
---|
214 | by doubling the size of each of its constituent partitions. Then save
|
---|
215 | the list and say 'yes' to partitioning, formatting, restoring all
|
---|
216 | files, etc. but say 'no' when asked if you have edited the mountlist.

241 | If you restore an NTFS partition 'live' (without booting from

617 | of eccentricities. While it is true that Debian is different from
|
---|
618 | other distros in many ways - some large, some small - recent releases
|
---|
619 | are much improved in terms of interoperability with other Linux
|
---|
620 | distros. For example, Debian 3.0's 2.4.18 kernel (available on CD#5
|
---|
621 | of the Debian installation CD set) is compatible with Mondo's kernel.
|
---|
622 | This is a tremendous achievement on the part of the Debian team, for
|
---|
623 | which much kudos is due.</P>

625 | The occasional problem will still arise. Also, One user reports,
|
---|
626 | "It appears that the 'testing' package of Lilo that I was
|
---|
627 | running was missing boot.b files. I suppose there is an outside
|
---|
628 | chance that the boot.b files weren't carried over from the last
|
---|
629 | installation. Anyway, I've seen a bug report at packages.debian.org
|
---|
630 | about the lilo package in question not including boot.b files that it
|
---|
631 | normally should include. [...] Debian lilo package that came with the
|
---|
632 | install CDs for Debian 3.0 r0 worked. Debian lilo "testing"
|
---|
633 | package 22.2-3 had this missing boot.b file problem. Debian lilo
|
---|
634 | package 22.3.3-2 worked fine."</P>
