using a purchased osdisc fedora 10 dvd
reinstalled f10dvd media ck said ok
this time using minimum options
and this time accepting default of mbr sda
install said successful
but on reboot get exactly same errors as seen
previously when f10 grub into sda1 notmbr , (then was using fc5 grub in mbr sda)
this time there should have been no connection at all to my fc5 on sdb6
but get same boot error:
cant access resume device (/dev/sdb2)
mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot no such file or directory
so my hopes that my troubles were my old fc5 grub version .97-5
was confusing f10 hence preventing f10 booting, seem not to be the issue.
I did find one suggestion on fedora common problems or?
"to edit the kernel argument and append "scsi_mod.scan=sync"
so i use knoppixcd to get my fc5 back: in grub root(hd1,5) setup(hd0)
which is where i am now for this email,
and mount the new installed f10 and edit its grub.conf as above
then went back to knoppixcd root(0,1) setup(0) to get back to f10
knoppixcd out
then rebooted again
this time the f10dvdinst boot attempt
does _not_ give me that dev/root one line error
but
instead a whole screen of boot msgs
but then screen quickly goes completely blank, no response
have to hit power button
this last response says
appending "scsi_mod.scan=sync" had some effect
but I have no idea what else to try.
Are there other scsi issues I should be aware of re f10?
My sda, sdb are both scsi disks
help, please
I really would like to dump fc5, but i need a booting f10
