I'm a newbie getting ready to install a newer RH9 kernel and I'd like to have a rescue CD on hand in case I mess up. My IBM R40 laptop (dual boot WinXP and RH9) has no floppy drive, so I need to make a rescue CD. According to RedHat's documentation, once I do manage to get into rescue mode, the rescue image location "must contain a valid installation tree, and the installation tree must be for the same version of Red Hat Linux as the Red Hat Linux CD-ROM #1 from which you booted. If you used a boot CD-ROM or diskette to start rescue mode, the installation tree must be from the same tree from which the media was created." I installed RH9 off a college's network, so my present version (2.4.20-20.9) doesn't match CD #1 (2.4.20) in my boxed set. Now I'm going to try an even newer kernel (2.4.20-31.9 -- which I hope may remedy another problem) which also won't match the CD #1 or the boot CD that I made. So how do I make a rescue CD that matches my version and will really work? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
